Chestnut Rau’s weekly round-up of upcoming SL events…
You never know what the artists at Caerleon Isle are going to do next. Recently, Sabrinaa Nightfire asked a talented group of artists to create virtual artworks that represent an idea of what the future holds. The wide range of interpretations are presented in an interesting exhibition called The Future Project. The large scale works range from the thought provoking, to stunningly beautiful, to just plain fun. The colorful Creation by Sabrinaa above rests high in the sky along side work by White Lebed, Solkide Auer, Kolor Fall, Al Lurton, and many more. Do yourself a favor and make time to explore this series. In Erato of Caerleon. [SLurl teleport at this link]

Event Submission Guidelines:
1. Events for the coming week must be received by Tuesday Noon SLT.
2. Include all the relevant info; day, time, and especially the SLURL to the event location.
3. Please send related graphics such as screen shots or photo of the event site, if available.
4. Events with artistic, cultural, scientific, political, creative, and/or educational value preferred.
5. Events sponsored or promoted by real world corporations are welcome,
as long they serve and entertain the Second Life community, and/or
foster

be PG-13. Political and religious events are encouraged, though those
of an
extreme or non-inclusive variety are rarely included.
7. Bonus consideration given to game-related or machinima events, and
for events with "I've never seen that in SL before!" value.
