The Raglan Shire Artwalk

 

 

In the Raglan Shire community lands their annual Artwalk is taking place. Over much of the area, numerous artworks are up for display. The bulk of it is on the hedgerows in the Raglan Shire sim, much of it on the tree platforms, which the locals sometimes call "art on a hedge." In Morning, Heron, and Athen Shire are some sculptures and other 3D artworks. 

 

Much, if not most, of the paintings one can buy a copy of. Many of the works are from artists who make their home in the Shire, but there are a number from other places in Second Life as the event has been open to all artists.

Due to the General-Audience rating of the sims, there is no adult artwork available for display. But there is humor, fitting in with the often whimsical-nature of events that the Raglan tinies like to show. At one place, I found an "Art-O-Matic 3000" which when sat on will do a "painting" of your profile picture as you watch. But that last step is a doosy.

 

The Artwalk started earlier this month, on Sunday May 14, and it will go on until Sunday June 18.

 

To get to Art Area 1, head to Raglan Shire (80/144/58). There are teleports to other art display areas, but feel free to walk around.

Raglan Shire Artwalk Opens

 

One of Second Life's better-known art shows is now up and running: The Raglan Shire Artwalk. It began yesterday, Sunday May 15, and will continue until Sunday June 19.

Raglan Shire's 17th Artwalk will run from May 15th to June 19th, 2022. It is a five week long event that spans five regions with over 100 artists participating from around the world. Everything from RL photos, paintings and drawings, to SL sculptures will be displayed. Artwalk features live music shows as well as regular weekly events. This year’s Artwalk is dedicated to Teal Freenote. 

As the announcement in the Destination Guide points out, the art is spread out over five of the Raglan community's sims. There are both examples of 2D art, paintings, screenshots, photography, and 3D art sculptures. Most of the pictures are on hedgerows, or "On a hedge!" as the locals say. There are dozens of artists involved, including the Newser's Marcel Mosswood. 

While Raglan has a number of events throughout the year, none gets as much attention, or as many participants from outside the community, as the artwalk. Teal Freenote, whom the artwalk this year is dedicated to, was responsible for it's reaching out to artists outside the community of tinies. She passed away last month. 

Opening day started out with more than artwork. There was a live music event with Keeba and the Tiny Maniacs, with the singer herself sporting overalls splattered with paint. The audience included some of the Artwalk's artists.

Raglan Shire's Artwalk 2020

Raglan Shire, the most noted community of tinies, is having its most popular event which brings over people of all avatars from across Second Life. They are having their annual Artwalk art festival, their 15th.

The Raglan Shire ArtWalk will be once again opening it’s Hedge to thousands of pieces of real life and virtual art in just a week! We have close to 200 artists signed up and there’s always time for more to get involved! 

With tons of different styles and types of art and creativity not to mention interactive events and live musical performances, the ArtWalk has become a staple of what can be done in virtual spaces when so many come together to exhibit their work and provide an atmosphere of fun and creativity which, incidentally is what Raglan Shire was founded on.

There are numerous examples of paintings and sculpture up on display, as well as a few SL screenshots and real-life photography. The quality ranges from beginner to experienced. One group of artwork that got my attention were the 3D Chinese paintings by Fiona Fei. One example of 3D artwork was to be walked about from inside. With seven exhibition areas in four sims, there is much to see for both art fanciers and those just looking for something nice to put on their wall.

The event began Sunday May 17, and goes on to June 21st.
