Hi all,

I'm interested in finding out how many participant run art galleries we have on Calypso. If you own/run one make a post in this thread and tell a little about where it is, how long you've been running, which shows you've had, what you have coming up etc.

Thanks a lot

Stinktree Gallery Experience & New Oxford Art

picture.php

Will post soon with what we have been up too,

Current Art Displayed in New Oxford Cave Shop #01

Gallery EF main thread

We havernt replaced a number of pieces, but will look into that shortly,

Please check it out, and thankyou everyone for the Art purchases, you have put many smiles on the Artist's faces.

Currently & since early 2007

Silva's Art
Most of her work is abstract, but sometimes we can notice combinations of shapes that stimulate our imagination and let us interpret the title in a figurative way. Silva claims she’s not always aware of that, and she was surprised when I told her I could see blue birds in non figurative piece called “The machine”.

Dolores Art
Prisms upon virtual (series 1 of 3)
""Dolores, A Spanish blooded Parisian Artist & Musician produces what she see's & feels from her travels in Entropia & in real life - She turns everyday simple moments into Rainbows - She is a quiet reserved person, has few words, but behind the screen she talks in colours & music - A wonderful twinkling Star in our Virtual Universe"" Moonfish

Stinktree gallery Experience
Art/Music/Video & Spoken word blended into an experience
On-hold and in storage since Spring 2007

Art can be viewed in our New Oxford Cave Shop #01 (Gallery being up-dated as I type, so it may take 1/2 days to be finished and back up to the standard it was)
Kind regards

Sorry Frank...

I am stuck with mine.

If I keep sweating maybe I can afford to put up another one next year :D:D:silly2::silly2:
 
I edited my first post to include all the information i was able to find about my gallery and its activities.

I think im missing some events from the end of 2007 im not sure if they were documented on EF. We held some exhibitions together with VR Art house www.vrarthouse.com you might want to check that out too :)

Best Regards

Hi Frank, I have one in Billton T3,5G ...

Hello Ido,

visit 5G 1 minute before..
Maintenance fee expired ;)

..will be nice if i can have a look in 5G :)
 
I'm preparing something close to art gallery idea (won't share details though) but more... blowing up minds of fellow entropians. Now I'm at research step of my project, but will definetely go for it when I finally gather all informations I need, calculate costs, gather funds, choose an estate and so on. I expect starting about this summer.
And, since you gave us the occasion to share our opinions here and receive some answer different than
Thanks for taking the time to submit your suggestions. We really appreciate this kind of feedback and have forwarded your suggestions to the design team.
I would like to share some of my thoughts. Will be brief, so don't worry Frank :D Someone mentioned it above and it's very good idea, but maybe MA could allow for renting their buildings, such as New Oxford gallery halls for some time (let's say one could rent a hall for one week or one month or so). Appartments do not cost much, but they are way to small to display art. And renting could convince more creative individuals to participate in cultural activities. Second thing: we can place custom content on displays. Why can't we display custom made 3d models, maybe in the future even animated? I'm talking about sculptures, which could be displayed on crafted pedestals. I think these two things could boost our creativity even more. And I think that such active community could attract some serious investors and give MA some marketing bonuses.
 
Hello Ido,

Hello Frank,

I have had my gallery in EU as long as it has been possible to do so. I am certain I had one of the very first participant galleries if not the very first. It started out small at an apartment in Sakura Sachi and eventually the gallery made its way to a house near Fort Argus (see the exact location in my signature at the bottom). The gallery was even on the big screen at CES thanks to a friend in EU. While the art present in the gallery is mine, I still could not have got it looking as nice as it is without the help of many friends in EU. So a special thanks goes out to them. You all know who you are :)

I am not actively selling art right now though because EU does not run well on my machine. Ever since the landgrab my machine has had a very hard time in the Entropia Universe. So I will not be available for tours like I used to be until I can figure out a way to get EU working again.

Even though I am not there to give tours I still encourage people to go have a look. A lot of effort has gone into making my gallery a nice place for all to visit. Also if anyone is interested in purchasing any of my limited works, please feel free to contact me on these forums and I will reply and get on a computer at a friends house to work something out for you.

Thanks!

Frank, does this include face mask artists?

I think frank ment Participant Content items

However if you would make many nice masks and hang them on the walls of your galler ... i would consider it a form of art (even an interesting one) and i guess it would qualify :)

Frank, does this include face mask artists?

I wonder that too, I would love to make an gallery/studio with makeup masks. Atm I'm working on a studio and in that studio I'm having 1 painting from Silva (that I bought in Moonfish shop) the one on the topright in his post showing her paintings. I'm aslo having pictures that comes from Freyrs Gallery in Twin Mall lvl 3. Hopefully it wont take too long for me to finnish the studio :)

It is art, look at me, I'm doing makeup masks and I find it artistic, therefor it's art, depends on how u look at it, some don't find paintings, photos etc as art. It's a very personally taste when it comes to art. I think that tattoos is an art too.
 
I thought Freyr would have posted, but since he has not, im just mentioning, he holds a gal for someone(to lazy to check), in twins mall...(To lazy to check what shop)
Maybe Freyr himself can tell more.. :)

He's in Twin Mall lvl 3 :)
 
I run an art Gallery IRL. I am waiting to bring it to EU. When I can sell the item in EU and the buyer gets the IRL item, then I will move forward.
 
Im too running an Art Gallery with pictures and videos of the native wildlife.

If you like the idea of 'living' pictures i invite you to check out Chikara Ai Condos 4H & 4A.

the only really difficult part of trying to have a gallery - is the space limitations for the frames .. and the limited frame styles (personally - i hate those corncobs on the corners of the reon frames) much prefer the clean smooth frames or the rather classic frames (reon w/o the cobs).

i would LOVE to be able to hang much more on the walls - but i think i pretty much maxed out the wall space in epsilon 21B (go have a look frank - i think you will like some of it!)

i am not an artist myself - but am willing to help those who are, if i can. :yay:
 
Hi Frank,

I started my gallery in summer 07, I think. It`s located at Sakurah, Koufuku 7A. I call it "Galerie Schneider". :)

It`s a collection of contemporary Kalypso artists, most of them bought from exhibitions (Ido, Abremalin).

Have a look.

:ahh:
 
I run an art gallery on the internet, and will bring it to EU as soon as I can manage all the stuff necessary for it. :yay:
