Help Launch the first Filming Phase of Wonderments

We are currently raising $30,000 to initiate the first phase of production. This initial campaign supports early interviews, archival preservation, and the foundation of a long-term digital archive.

What your support Funds

Contributions directly support filmed interviews with family, former students, and colleagues, as well as the digitization of rare photographs, archival materials, and legacy video documenting John Winslow’s life and work.

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW

Many firsthand accounts and materials remain undocumented and at risk of being lost. This early phase is time-sensitive and essential to preserving the artist’s legacy before it becomes fragmented across private collections.
