Visions of Hope 2016

Hope Haven is a place for cancer support group meetings, and they have a Relay for Life SL team called Hope Haven Heroes, which famously did a successful art auction last year as part of their charity effort. I blogged it at the time, and was happy to hear that there is one again, starting today.

Organized by Ricco Saenz and Randy Firebrand, Visions of Hope 2016 is a month long art auction and exhibit in benefit of the Relay for Life of SL. The opening party is today, Saturday 30th of April, at 4pm SLT. The bidding starts then, and runs until May 30th, after which the winners of each piece will be announced.

Sixteen artists have donated their works for the cause: Bijou, Boudicca Amat Ciottolina Xue, d-oo-b, Dru G. Eiren-Milneaux, Em Larsson, Hills, Inara Pey, Mareea Farrasco, Nikolai Warden, Proph, Pusher, Randy Firebrand, Ricco Saenz, Tomais Ashdene, Trinity Yazimoto and Ziki Questi.

If you wish to see more art by each of them, the blog post by Ricco Saenz lists their websites through each of the names.

PS. The sim is rated adult.

Dip

I had to check out Valaskala, the exhibit by Instincta and Stem van Helsinki. I was kind of just bouncing around jumping off the planets and things until I got down to the whale on the land level. The animation (Animlia) I used for the picture was in their single avatar pose tool diamond. I used region settings for windlight but added a bit of gamma to show you details of the outfit better. Check out this exhibit at LEA19 with the sounds on as they are a big part of the installation. (Pieni wrote about the exhibit on the Galleria Kakku blog).

The exhibit by Maymay Matova and Miss Longtail at Gallery 24

Today I went to the opening of the exhibit by Maymay Matova and Miss Longtail at Gallery 24. The entertainment was provided by the talented Miss Longtail, who sang live, and DJ Story, who was playing some great tunes during her dj set. The party was fun as you can see from the pictures.

The exhibit, curated by Kayly Iali, is going to run through April, 2016. The two artists both make drawings and paintings that are full of color and whimsy. Their styles compliment each other but are different enough to make this a very eclectic and interesting showcase.

Both artists sell products with their art on them, in SL and in real life. Make sure to check out the notebooks on Maymay's table, they are cute for accessories or decor. And click the links on their info walls to find out where to see their stuff and how to buy some.
