Cylindrian’s Grace Notes

The Library Art Gallery began scheduling exhibitions and events on Info Island in late August 2007.  The Library Art Gallery is a non-for-profit art gallery that exhibits artistic creations in Second Life for display purposes only (art on display is not for sale).

The Library Art Gallery resides on Info Island (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Info%20Island%20Library%20Gallery/31/83/33/) on a 3072 sqm parcel and has 703 prims.  The Gallery has two floors and spacious land, plenty of space for artists and exhibitors to show and sell their art in SL.  We enjoy hosting fine art of all formats and genres:  painting, still life, modern art, contemporary, photography, abstracts, stained glass, pottery, sculptures.  We offer live music and/or DJs with our exhibition openings and other special events and programs.  The Library Art Gallery is also available for art librarians, art aficionados, other individuals in the Arts & Humanities and Education community to hold their own events such as open forums, Q&A sessions, or tutorials.  Those individuals or groups should contact Teofila Matova for details and scheduling.

Our goal is to highlight progressive artists who fully utilize SL as a creative medium.  We’d like to see the Library Gallery grow to participate in broader SL arts/media events if possible.  We are open to partnering with other groups and organizations, within and outside of the SL library and arts communities.  We hope that events at the Gallery Space can evolve into inclusive conversations with artists, scholars, and guest curators, from RL and SL.

Info Island is part of  Info Archipelago started in 2006 by the Alliance Library System of Illinois, now constituting a cultural and educational archipelago of 43 adjacent sims.  Info Island alone receives an average of 5,000 visitors per week.
