Inspiration Island wins 10,000L in the SLPro Full Sim Build Competition…wOOt

// February 26th, 2010 // No Comments » // Art Galleries, General

Yesterday was a BIG day for me and Flimsey! A very big day.  I had just spent the last three days attending the SLPro Conference at NMC (New Media Consortium) where I entered our sim in the  Full Build Challenge.

The New Media Consortium (NMC) is an international not-for-profit consortium of learning-focused organizations dedicated to the exploration and use of new media and new technologies. Its hundreds of member institutions constitute an elite list of the most highly regarded colleges and universities in the world, as well as leading museums, key research centers, and some of the world’s most forward-thinking companies. Believe me, both us gals are smiling from ear to ear at receiving this honor. We’ve been working our avatar butts off the past month, trying to make the entire sim a place where musicians and artists of all types will come to relax, share their talents, and hopefully get inspired. Of course, the focal point of the build is Flimsey’s fabulous immersive media creation, but we both hope visitors will take a little time to explore other areas of the island.

Artists in Second Life® Art Galleries

While the immersive media set is by far the most stunning, and most prominent feature of the sim, we are also the home of some of the most talented artists in Second Life®.  In the little town we’ve created we have  filled 8 of the 10 available shops. We are a member of the “Art Galleries of SL” and are pleased to welcome Isabel Hermano (acrylics), Emil Junge (oils), Walt Ireton (nature & landscape photography), Eshi Otawara (art installations), Katydid Something (floral photography), and Chandlr Bing (sculpted true life clocks) to the iNsPiReD family of artists. Please stop by and check out their inspiring work.

We’re scheduling for the weekend with some great LIVE music events. Keep a look out. Georgianna Blackburn logging out.
