Last Chance to See a Collection of Prim Sculptures of Great SL Artists of the Last 15 Years

Give thanks to great Second Life prim-based sculpture artists from over the last 17 years by visiting the Gratitude Art show between now and the end of 2020: Click here to teleport.

As I wrote in September, it was curated by longtime virtual art advocate Chuck Clip (above) and Mariposa Upshaw, and hosted in the University Of Western Australia's virtual campus in Second Life, which is finally being removed from the world for the New Year. After putting out an open call for submissions, they were deluged by entries from renowned artists like Chic Aeon, Glyph Graves, and Alpha Auer. Chuck even contributed a sculpture from his personal collection, from the beloved Starax Statosky, who started impressing the SL community as far back as 2005 or so. (Full list of contributors on Clip's blog.)

"I mean," as Clip tells me now. "It's a veritable who's-who of SL art and art history."

It was a labor of love for the curators:

"Mariposa and I spent a lot of time tracking down and reaching out to artists who haven't shown in SL in some time. The exhibit is the icing on a cake made of hours of research and notes sent to hundreds of artists. Those who participated were, I think, thrilled and saddened to. The opening was a huge success. We packed the sim, danced to some amazing music, enjoyed some truly amazing art, and said our thank yous to UWA. It felt like a fitting send off."

Yes. And for that, I personally give thanks. Hope you can visit soon.
