Of art in hedges and sculptures under trees

Posted on by Inara Pey

ARTWALK2014_POSTER_BLOGSunday May 4th marked the start of the ninth annual Raglan Shire Artwalk.

Running through to May 25th, the Artwalk brings together over 140 artists from across Second Life in a display of 2D and 3D art ranged across four regions of Raglan Shire, providing visitors not only with the opportunity to see  photographs, artwork, and sculptures, but to also explore the Shire itself.

2D art of many kinds are exhibited along the hedgerows in the central area of Raglan Shire sim. SL sculpture works are exhibited among the trees and along the shores of the western half of Heron Forest in Heron Shire, in the park on Morning Shire and around the Athen Shire village.  TP kiosks to the display locations are throughout the grounds of the festival.

The Raglan Shire Artwalk is an excellent way to see art from a broad cross-section of SL painters, sculptors, photographers and artists, some of whom otherwise rarely exhibit their work, while others may well be very well-known. At the same time, the Walk brings with it the opportunity to discover more about the Tiny community of Raglan Shire.

From any of the starting points, one is free to wander the footpaths and glades of the Shire, admiring the art and perhaps meeting some of the local residents.  For those not that fond of walking,  but who nevertheless prefer not to teleport everywhere, there is also a tour guide system available as well. Simply click on one of the green spheres at an arrival point, and let the caterpillar take you on a ride around the exhibits!

  2. I agree with the comment about the warm welcome from the Raglan Community. This is my first participation as well; I put three photos in so I could learn, blog about it and also help a couple of new people.
    It is well-organized, they do make it easy and also respond to questions graciously in a timely manner. The “hedge-apiller” ride covers all the 2D art areas very well.

    And it’s a sight to behold a group of Tinies bouncing around, dancing.
