Magical Mystery Tour


Well, I have been on quite the adventure for the past several hours. I have traveled all over the  world of Second Life looking for art galleries and collection. I have been assigned the task of creating a tour so that others wanting to find beautiful art in Second Life can easily navigate their way around using the note card I have created. This has been quite the tour, I have found some awesome places for you all try out, so have fun and enjoy this magical tour of the Second Life world of art.

11 Gallery Stops:

Steinfadt Fall 2012 SL Art Gallery Tour

This tour takes you to a variety of art galleries and displays in second life. Some are Real Life works and some are Second LIfe created. Many of the items can be purchased to use in your own SL world. Have fun and see some awesome creations.

1.  The Spiral Art Gallery 
In this gallery there are many works of art. Some are sculptures and some are paintings. Many of the works are in motion creating beautiful images.

2.  ARC: Art Revolution Culture
The second stop on our gallery tour takes you to an island that has several buildings housing different types of digital art. Some are photographs and some are digitally created. As you walk around the island there is many sculptures on the grounds and the grounds themselves are a digital work of art.

3.  Zunzun Art Cuba - Gallery
Be careful when you land here, I have landed in the fountain every time I have visited. But the surrounding court yard is filled with Cuban cultural art in a tropical island setting. I could stay here and relax looking at all the beauty for quite awhile.


4. The RediVivus Art Gallery
The gallery of fantasy art and decorations. Set on a colorful beach. When you enter the building you are met with bright colored paintings and a variety of other styles of art. Many of these can be purchased to use in your own SL world.

5. Sisse Singha Gallery
This is a huge gallery and very professional looking. The artist preferred medium is water color. I personally am in awe of anyone who can work with watercolors. These are beautiful works. Enjoy your time wandering in this gallery, There is also a hall of works from other artists, very bright and colorful.

6. The Blackwater Sculpture Art Gallery

This is an awesome outdoor gallery with hundreds of static and moving sculpture pieces. Some very cool stuff here.

7. The Silliest Kitty Gallery of Abstract Art
This is a gallery of original digital artwork created by an SL artist called the Silliest Kitty.  This gallery looks small until you find the spiral staircase and you realize that there are multiple floors. Beautiful digital creations.

8.  Dreamscapes Art Gallery
This is what I think of as the least interesting of the tour but it is interesting. Almost everything here is for sale for the creation of your SL world. You can buy almost everything here including the rugs on the floor. There is some beautiful stuff here and it is fun to walk around and see what has been created but it is not as uniques as the other galleries that house original works.

9. Spanish Village Art Center
This is a village that houses several different buildings of art work. It ranges from paintings to sculpture and I  believe I even saw some furniture and pottery. So much to see here, the buildings are all stucco with tile roofs and the streets are paved with multi-colored brick.

10.  Campus d'Art - Heart of the Canal District
This location has many galleries and a museum. It takes awhile to find everything but well worth the time exploring.

11.  Alpha Asteri Second Life's Largest art Gallery
This location has a huge amount of art in the galleries and on the grounds. But be careful as landed in the ocean one time and on the side of a cliff the another time. I got stuck in the rocks and had to teleport out. If you can get there it is great. This is why I have included it as site #11.

I hope you find this tour as awe inspiring and inspirational as I did. I had a lot of fun touring around in the Second Life art world.
