Maven Art Collective is a new arts community in Second Life open to all those who produce and present art via the platform Life, be they in-world photographer-artists, physical world artists using Second life as a medium to reach a broader audience and / or 3D artists working in prims or mesh.
Founded by Amari Maven of Maven’s rentals, working with artist Janus Fall (the collective’s Art Director), the collective is based in one quarter of Maven Isle. Focused on a large main events and exhibition hall, together with a garden space for 3D art, the Maven Art Quarter also provides individual boutique gallery spaces free of charge for artists wishing to display and sell their art.
However, there is one small catch (so to speak): Maven Art Collective is about involvement, not just providing space. Those joining will be asked to actively engage with the Collective by participating in group events, mounting their own (or joint) exhibitions and helping promote the Collective and art in Second Life as a whole. Which, in return for a free gallery space is a very fair exchange.
If you are interested in joining the Collective, please contact Janus Fall or Amari Maven in-world.
Inaugural Exhibition
Friday, August 7, 2026 saw the opening of the Collective’s inaugural exhibition within the main gallery space, featuring current Collective members Anja (Neobookie); Sisi Biedermann; Zia Branner; Cass (cassandra Ushimawa); Alexandra Costanza; Duraya; Hadiya Draper; Eta (etamae); Sharon Emerald (3d Dismantled); Janus Fall; Leica Frame (LeicaFrame); Kayly Iali ; JakeloveAdeer; Life Suki and WVP (Traci Ultsch). Together, the artists offer a rich blending of art and expression to present an excellent and engaging exhibition.
As well as exhibitions like this, the main gallery and spaces within the Collective’s Art Quarter will be used to promote art in Second Life through special events, showcases and celebrations across the artistic medium.
Again, if you are an artist interested in becoming an active member of the Maven Art Collective, do be sure to contact Janus or Amari in-world.
If you appreciate artistic expression in Second Life, do be sure to pop along to the gallery for this first exhibition – and, if you are so minded, don’t forget to subscribe to the Collective’s in-world Group to keep abreast of news and updates!
