New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/06/2021 -- "Buy a ticket, support an artist, feel good, see art." The Museum of Wild and Newfangled Art is an emerging new online art platform that helps artists by creating a space to show their work and supporting them financially. By giving 70% of membership/ticket sales to the artists, the emerging digital platform for art and artists is setting new trends in the art exhibition arena. The creators of this project have recently launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to sell tickets, memberships and artwork for their opening show, Friday January 8th-April 29th, 2021, featuring 30 well known artists, and they are welcoming generous support and backing.

"We are hosting an Online Biennial April 30-Sept 22 for 2021 that will exhibit 100 international artists in all mediums from around the world, to address a two year gap in the art world's exhibition schedule based on closures and postponement of global museum shows." Said cari ann shim sham*, one of the creative minds behind this project, while introducing this project to the Kickstarter community. "We are a for profit museum that creates a one of a kind uniquely curated online collection of works that can only be seen through our site in exhibits, a collection and a store. Ultimately we are an ethical art platform that is committed to the greater good for all." shim sham added.

The Kickstarter Campaign is located on the web at www.kickstarter.com/projects/mowna/the-museum-of-wild-and-newfangled-art-online-art-platform and all funds raised through this campaign will play a major role in the success of this project.
