The beauty of nature.
The power of nature.
The effect of nature.
Three ideal pillars that give people strength day after day in the course of their lives. Yet people weaken nature - and therefore themselves. It is as if they deliberately want to cut the connection between man and nature. Even though we know that humans are nature.
Circle for Nature is a platform on which togetherness takes place. A togetherness between art, environmental protection, renaturation - and people's lives. Circle for Nature thus stands for the vitality of nature and people.
Experience nature through art! Immerse yourself in the world of inspiring works and thus in an aesthetic that carries nature within it. Give the importance of a healthy planet your personal framework.
Become part of Circle for Nature. Experience the inspiration of art to protect our environment, our world!
Das war der "Flugtag" an der Unteren Alten Donau
Es fliegt, es fliegt …
Schau, a Vogerl.
Jüngst an der Alten Donau. Viele Dutzend papierene Vögel, kunstfertig gefaltet, „fliegend“ auf Holzstäben. Ein Hinweis auf das Sterben der Vögel, ein Hinweis auf die Reduktion von Vogelzügen.
Es fliegt, es fliegt – was ist das? Ein Team des Circle for Nature hat mit gefalteten Vögeln auf das Sterben von Vögeln und Zugvögeln hingewiesen. Eine kleine und stille Aktion, deren Schöpfer in Zukunft weitere Aktivitäten zur Sensibilisierung setzen werden.
Circle of Action - Vögel schwingen. Schwingen sich vom Sein ins Nicht-mehr-Sein.
Circle of Action
Is it art or is it just art: it's about preserving nature. That's what Circle for Nature is all about. An initiative that is not just a paint job. Accordingly, we will first show you initiatives by the founder Günter Hainzl, followed by environmental activism by other people, including great artists.
Circle of Art
Nature as a cycle, a circle - this sentence is more than a melancholic metaphor, it is a description of how nature is, how nature does, how nature works.
The cycle, the circle - a symbol of unity, togetherness, connectedness. We humans are in nature and nature is in us - this reciprocity underpins Circle for Nature. It is the careful handling of life and nature, both of which are made available to us. We need to treat both with care.
Circle for Nature. Its content: the art of dealing sensitively with nature. Breathing colour back into oedema, giving it life. With colours from nature.
Circle of Friends
Circle for Nature is something we should all take part in. An invitation to everyone for whom nature should be given more colour again. Colour that is nature. Perfect.
Circle for Nature is a project that brings together artists and people active for the environment to form a social sculpture. Circle for Nature is about making visible and connecting people who express themselves for the preservation of nature with the means of art, and those people who acquire this art as donors. In this way, the aforementioned social sculpture is created between artists and those who protect nature - a Circle of Friends.
Circle of People
Circle for Nature is about making visible and connecting organisations, institutes and people who are committed to the preservation of nature and its renaturation. They are another pillar of the aforementioned social sculpture between artists and nature conservationists - a Circle of People.
Gift-economy as the core of Circle for Nature
The gift-economy. What's behind it? Working together for a common cause!
Circle for Nature gives you a work of art. You hang it on the wall, for example. You enjoy it. You pay nothing for it. But: You would like to pass on one or more of these works of art. For example, within your family, within your working environment. You are not only passing on a work of art, but also a philosophy - and above all your enjoyment. In this way, you are financing renaturation and giving nature back to nature.
So if you would like to donate works from the Circle for Nature, you can do so directly via this website. You are also welcome to do so in a personal conversation.
About Circle for Nature
About the project
Günter Hainzl and the project he started, which brings together artists and people active for the environment to form a social sculpture. Circle for Nature is about making visible and connecting people who express themselves for the preservation of nature with the means of art, and those people who acquire this art as donors. In this way, the aforementioned social sculpture is created between artists and those who protect nature - a Circle of People.
Activities and purpose in accordance with the association's statutes:
Its field of activity extends worldwide, with a focus on the Alpine region, in relation to flora and fauna - with a focus on species protection and diversity. The association expresses itself through the means of art and finances itself in this way, among others. The artworks are all created from materials provided by nature or are dedicated to eco-printing and recycling. The association also follows the strict principles of the gift economy and draws its capital from the idea of exchanging art for money. The funds generated in this way are used in the same way as in associations that define themselves as charitable. The aim is to engage with nature through artists from various genres (visual arts, performing arts, music, composition, text) who form an open group.
The purpose of the association is renaturation, species protection and diversity.
Günter Hainzl on the use of the donations
Circle for Nature is a non-profit association that spends at least 75% of its income on projects for renaturation, reforestation, nature and species conservation and diversity.
Why 75%? Unavoidable material costs, any fees for service providers, mandatory fees and taxes are deducted from the proceeds. If parts of the fixed costs are covered by sponsors or partners, this is disclosed and increases the proportion of donations.Transparency and annual disclosure of donation channels are mandatory.
Business management in accordance with the association's statutes:
According to its statutes, the association pursues exclusively and directly non-profit and/or charitable purposes and is therefore a non-profit and/or charitable association within the meaning of the applicable tax regulations (§§ 34 to 47 of the Austrian Federal Fiscal Code - BAO). Any purposes that are not favoured within the meaning of §§ 34ff BAO are completely subordinate to the favoured purposes and are pursued to a maximum extent of 25% of the total resources.
We would like to point out that donations are not yet tax-deductible. We are working on creating the legal framework for this.
