Raglan Shire ArtWalk


The show was officially opened on Sunday May 5th and runs through May 26th. Press releases have been sent to inworld media. ArtWalk is a featured event in the May SL Showcase.This is the 8th annual artwalk at the tinies land.

This is an interesting collection of art from many artists. The artwalk has Real Life drawing, painting and photography as well as Second Life art, sculpture and Photography.

I have walked around the different areas in the artwalk and have seen some wonderful and original art. It is so fascinating to view other artists work without having to go very far. Some of the art is thought provoking, other pieces of art are whimsical, all of it is beautiful. Two artists at the Gallery have some of their art at the walk. Emmalena Damour and CarmanTurner. Each of the exhibits can be seen at the following SLURL:

New Guest Artist  Aely Witte

 
  We have a new guest artist from May 1 through May 31, 2013. Her work is hanging in the gallery now. She definitely has a different type of exhibit than I have had in the gallery before.
 

"SL or RL? " exhibit..


I am glad to provide the artist a chance to show some of her art. This is a new exhibit by an artist showing her photographic art for the first time in Second Life.
Aely Witte is an accomplished model, producer and director in SL. She is also a content creator.  In RL she is a street photographer.  Her art is a form of photojournalism where intimately, usually from only several meters,  she captures real people in their moments of joy, love, sadness, excitement and their special acts of being "human".  "SL or RL?" is a comparative exhibit of how similar our virtual and human uniqueness is.
So can you tell which photographs are Second Life and which are Real Life?
 
Aely Witte currently does not have a gallery or gallery space elsewhere here in sl. This exhibit will determine if she wants to have a space.

So buy some of her art if you are able to.
 
Also all proceeds from Aely's art sales will be donated to the Epilepsy Foundation.
