Barnstone Patreon Program

Continuing a Time-Honored Tradition

Patrons of the arts have made possible some of humanity’s most iconic works: in Renaissance Italy, the de Medici family supported Michelangelo, and the Sforza family employed Leonardo da Vinci. Pope Julius II famously rebuilt St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, and funded many master artists, including Raphael.

In return, these patrons had the joy and satisfaction of actively participating in the creative process, benefiting their communities, and ensuring the creative legacy continues.

Join Us in the Tradition!

Our Patreon program allows Barnstone fans to enjoy custom content and special insider benefits in return for a monthly level of financial support.

Your contribution supports:

  • The Gwendolyn Stine Scholarship Program – “To unlock the creative potential for an ever-expanding artistic community…” We at Barnstone want to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, as the master, Myron Barnstone so often said, to “draw very well.” This Scholarship Program provides direct financial assistance in the form of tuition assistance, full-ride scholarships, supplies and other resources are available to interested, motivated and eligible candidates for all Barnstone educational offerings. These offerings include (but are not limited to) live online intensives, DVDs/downloads, workshops, seminars, supplies and one-to-one art education mentorship for selected aspiring artists.
  • The Barnstone Art Education Project – Dedicated to continuing the Barnstone Method instruction that Myron Barnstone created, the project sustains and makes available existing Barnstone Method educational resources, including: recorded videos, Barnstone essays and publications, and Barnstone artwork exemplifying foundational art concepts. In addition, the project funds expanded programs, including: new curriculum development, sustained expansion of the Barnstone Master Guide program, and development of additional publications based upon the life and works of Myron Barnstone and the Barnstone Method.
