Pictured: SLEA

Last week I said I would offer an update about the uplift process of the Destination Guide every Friday. As of about 5 minutes ago, the process is complete and we finally have access! We are slowly updating the entries now. Since we haven’t had access to it for almost a month, we have quite the backlog and it will take some time to catch up. Hopefully, by next Friday I will have a long list of new destinations for you to explore. 

In the meantime, check out these interesting events that are happening this weekend. 

Second Life Endowment For The Arts

The Second Life Endowment For The Arts (SLEA) is opening with a bang at midnight SLT 1/1/2021. Use the SLEA experience to visit 9 regions of diverse creativity representing the many levels of virtual art in SL, including 2 & 3D, Theater, Literature, Visual, Machinima, Art Education, and Media Art. Cost-free grants are awarded! For more info, visit: slendowmentforthearts.wordpress.com

Don’t forget to watch today’s Lab Gab, where we had the Coordinator of SLEA, Tansee, take us on a tour of the regions.
 

C.L.E.A.R. at Janus Gallery III

You are cordially invited to Janus Gallery III on Saturday, January 23rd from 12pm-2pm slt for the opening of Asperix Asp’s new exhibit “Crystal Light Engine Advanced Research.” You can just call it CLEAR for short. Although, reality itself may not seem as clear as it once did when you stop to consider his works. Maximillion Kleene and Jack Slade will sing live, making for an exhilarating afternoon of art and music. The exhibit will be open until February 24th.
