This annual Second Life event runs in conjunction with the <a href="http://www.boobiethon.com/">Bloggers Boobie-Thon</a> which is now in it's 11th year.<br /><br />Second Life's Boobie-Thon is the result of the dedicated work of Eva Bellambi and Serra Anansi who have organized a wide-range of events since introducing this fundraising initiative in Second Life.<br /><br />Funds raised during the Boobiethon in SL go to the <a href="http://ww5.komen.org/">Susan G. Komen Foundation for the Cure</a> as well as an annually selected charity.<br /><br />While a serious subject, one of the hallmarks of the Boobie-Thon is to raise money and raise awareness in a fun, educational and irreverant way. Some of the events are downright saucy!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Opening Party, October 1, 2011 at 6:30 pm SLT</span><br />Tonight's opening party is at the Cliffs of Skye (6:30 pm SLT), the Second Life home of Eva Bellambi.

In terms of the types of works I usually create for exhibition in world, this show is definitely a bit of a departure for me. While still abstractions, these works are more creative documents of the the work of artists that inspire me.<br /><br />Fortunately, over the past number of months, I have spent an increasing amount of time exploring the works of some of Second Life’s most creative and talented artists and builders. While I have always been keenly interested in the Second Life arts community as a participant, supporter and promoter, I have really found joy in exploring and documenting some of the grid’s more immersive installations and builds.<br /><p class="MsoNormal">I have always considered myself a digital documentarian and historian, using my virtual lens to capture and record people, places and events from around Second Life and other virtual worlds. My work for Prim Perfect and Primgraph Magazines as well as Designing Worlds and Metaverse Arts on Treet TV certainly allows me the opportunity to do just that. This aspect of my work has become incredibly important to me because, as you’ll note below, several of these works have already disappeared from the grid.

The town is sponsoring prime gallery space for new artists to exhibit - free of charge, with the goal of fostering new talent in virtual art. “This exciting project was really Tricia Aferdita’s idea,” said Rowan Derryth, Curator of the Initiative, “but being incredibly busy with managing Avalon Town, producing and hosting Metaverse Arts for Treet TV, and directing two galleries, she brought me on board. I’ve been keen to work on a project with her, and it’s been great fun.”<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilUvReAZ6wI0V8rpTZzRIIbRO1jCg0y2BhyphenhyphenQChyphenhyphenkKxEkhR55FsFMAh0U-RQ_IIYwrmFFpy9lkhu4orOhce0trhRVpYLJ1PXXAkriJshavvaCcnh9ygi7aQqIzmY_x3FqzX3Qm0WGU5TLk/s1600/avalon_arts_initiative_building_008.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 212px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilUvReAZ6wI0V8rpTZzRIIbRO1jCg0y2BhyphenhyphenQChyphenhyphenkKxEkhR55FsFMAh0U-RQ_IIYwrmFFpy9lkhu4orOhce0trhRVpYLJ1PXXAkriJshavvaCcnh9ygi7aQqIzmY_x3FqzX3Qm0WGU5TLk/s400/avalon_arts_initiative_building_008.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570330257594254834" border="0" /></a>A call to artists went out last month which laid out the guidelines for participation: “Featured artists need not be new to SL, but should have only started exhibiting in the last 6 months, and must have had no major gallery exhibitions in world. We looked for artists working with virtual media, as opposed to those importing and showing images of physical works.”<br /><br />The first two artists to be featured are Floraclayflower Beeswing and Hypatia Pickens. Beeswing is an SL photographer who has only just begun showing her work, which involves some wonderfully conceived post-production in Photoshop. Pickens is a seasoned SL educator, and has been involved in numerous arts and education projects. However this is her first time showing her own work in a large gallery, which combines elements of virtual building and machinima.<br /><br />The Arts Initiative also hopes to promote education across the arts in SL, and will host in world classes as well as sponsored events across the arts spectrum, such as literary readings and performances.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtkK92C9YVEHYuNL9Yyjf2tZTLAkJblggx7Wx9kMQULp_cysnyUFjAU_iJrwIJLc_Aj_W1Qq62hwIZ5a_nUJ8urHiaeHNqCuq__Cr0O9H62jHsRaTeWdprrB03eLD9wUqQt0l1YCFMjjg/s1600/avalon_arts_initiative_building_007.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 212px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtkK92C9YVEHYuNL9Yyjf2tZTLAkJblggx7Wx9kMQULp_cysnyUFjAU_iJrwIJLc_Aj_W1Qq62hwIZ5a_nUJ8urHiaeHNqCuq__Cr0O9H62jHsRaTeWdprrB03eLD9wUqQt0l1YCFMjjg/s400/avalon_arts_initiative_building_007.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570330591614834482" border="0" /></a>The opening of the first exhibit will be held on Saturday, February 5th from 4 – 6 pm SLT. The event will also include a poetry reading by Pickens at 4.30, as well as the screening of Derryth’s first documentary Ekphrasis: PJ Trenton, an experiment in taking her Ekphrasis articles written for the Prim Perfect blog and turning them into a short film format. “I suppose I can include myself in the ‘budding artist’ category since this is my first machinima,” commented Derryth. “I figured I should be brave and put my work out there for critique!”<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG6caHS7Fp4NvhF9JP-4y6kH9GJVIjtA8GAXphKhRiMo1UHJEtf6hWBTIBAUjSvT6oz_D4isSL_jUuqfJyNikpqfy6ufaPY_RzdWW3YccWKAZHv4ssUPIqqr5eNvJLiAaRc6tH6Uq4MU8/s1600/Avalon+Art+History+Gracie%25282%2529.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 330px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG6caHS7Fp4NvhF9JP-4y6kH9GJVIjtA8GAXphKhRiMo1UHJEtf6hWBTIBAUjSvT6oz_D4isSL_jUuqfJyNikpqfy6ufaPY_RzdWW3YccWKAZHv4ssUPIqqr5eNvJLiAaRc6tH6Uq4MU8/s400/Avalon+Art+History+Gracie%25282%2529.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570330958250569282" border="0" /></a>Sunday will also see the launch of the education portion of the programme, when the Avalon “Art History with a Twist” lecture series takes residence with a talk by artist Gracie Kendal titled The Art of Transformation in Contemporary Self-Portraits. Through their use of costumes, masks, wigs and make-up, artists such as Cindy Sherman, Lynn Hershmann and Yasumasa Morimura explore the relationship between identity and appearance, illusion and reality. Kendal will explore the way in which contemporary artists present their fictional, or "other selves."<br /><br />All events will be held in the new Avalon Arts Initiative Building in Tabula Rasa (<a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tabula%20rasa/87/104/28">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tabula%20rasa/87/104/28</a>.)<br /><br />This is only the start for the Initiative, and applications will be accepted from artists on an ongoing basis.

Lady Bellambi holds this virtual event in honour of Scotland's "National Poet".<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpqPSqcU6KeX8nQb4hROFa3OV1bJYNPd_gEP8zOLwdyIuDJaJxzHkDEIWb6rC-lOOEG_ssLsRQyEtmthO27ZYS-RNW9Fp28Oa6ZqwruOfENP7Qxx7OpoeDyViOAnJ9uGYdC9c1UZBBhqA/s1600/burns_dinner_038.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 210px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpqPSqcU6KeX8nQb4hROFa3OV1bJYNPd_gEP8zOLwdyIuDJaJxzHkDEIWb6rC-lOOEG_ssLsRQyEtmthO27ZYS-RNW9Fp28Oa6ZqwruOfENP7Qxx7OpoeDyViOAnJ9uGYdC9c1UZBBhqA/s400/burns_dinner_038.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565553494579095170" border="0" /></a>Burns Suppers are held all over the world. A chance to gather and share in the life and writing of Robert Burns. For more on Robert Burns, visit <a href="http://www.robertburns.org/">www.robertburns.org/</a>.<br /><br />I am pleased to share with you my toast from last night...<br /><br />Ladies and Gentlemen it is with great honour that I stand before you today to offer a toast to the lassies on the auspicious occasion of Robert Burns Night. To be asked by our charming hostess, the Lady of Skye, to not only attend this dinner, but to have the opportunity to toast those of the fairer sex is a very special privilege.<br /><br />I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lady Eva Bellambi for organizing and hosting this wonderful evening in honour of Robert Burns. Thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful home. Thanks also to Miss Rowan Derryth for her work helping to organize this event and for what I am sure will be a charming and delightful response to my toast.<br /><br />It is wonderful to see everyone here, and in particular, all of you divine lassies...although around this intriguing virtual world, one always has to wonder if in fact the lassies you see are in fact lassies at all.<br /><br />Robert Burns. Rabbie Burns. The Ploughman Poet. Robden of Solway Firth. The Bard of Ayrshire. Scotland's favourite son. The Bard. Widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and perhaps Scotland’s Minister of Population Development.<br /><br />He of course had a legendary eye and obviously a little more (or perhaps a lot more) for the ladies. With a total of twelve children by four women, one can surmise that if he were in our virtual world today, he would hold a customer rewards card for the local prim baby store. Imagine the talking tummies following in his wake...and whether you would be able to understand a word they uttered in open chat. Certainly not the traditional stuffed stomach...<br /><br />In our virtual world, I am certainly privileged to know so many talented, professional, educated, intelligent, creative and caring women. Women who make both the virtual AND the physical worlds a much better place.<br /><br />In honour of these most important women to myself and to all of us, I thought it appropriate to share with you the lyrics of a song written by Robert Burns in honour of a woman particularly dear to him...Agnes McLehose. I give to you, 'Ae Fond Kiss'.<br /><br />Ae fond kiss, and then we sever;<br />Ae fareweel, and then for ever!<br />Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,<br />Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.<br />Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,<br />While the star of hope she leaves him?<br />Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me;<br />Dark despair around benights me.<br /><br />I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy,<br />Naething could resist my Nancy:<br />But to see her was to love her;<br />Love but her, and love for ever.<br />Had we never lov'd sae kindly,<br />Had we never lov'd sae blindly,<br />Never met-or never parted,<br />We had ne'er been broken-hearted.<br /><br />Fare-thee-weel, thou first and fairest!<br />Fare-thee-weel, thou best and dearest!<br />Thine be ilka joy and treasure,<br />Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure!<br />Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!<br />Ae fareweel alas, for ever!<br />Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,<br />Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.<br /><br />Please join me in raising your glasses to the women who play such an important role in our lives…to the lassies!<br /><br />Miss Rowan Derryth came back with a fabulous toast to the lads!<br /><br />For more about this event in Second Life, visit Eva's blog at <a href="http://redroseofcaledon.blogspot.com/2011/01/celebrating-burns-night-on-isle-of-skye.html">http://redroseofcaledon.blogspot.com/2011/01/celebrating-burns-night-on-isle-of-skye.html</a>.PJ Trentonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18134747379163571160noreply@blogger.com0
