Welcome to the Library Art Gallery Blog!

2009-01-18T18:03:00.000-08:00

Yes, at long last we have a blog spot. :-) The Library Art Gallery was established in mid-year 2007. On May 2008, I (Teofila Matova) was invited to take over management for the gallery -- as I had over a year's worth of successful gallery experience with my own, personal gallery in SL (tm). It is high time we have a BLOG to help keep our patrons and artists informed of the many events and programs and shows that we host.

The Library Art Gallery is a non-for-profit art gallery that exhibits artistic creations in Second Life(tm) for display purposes only (art on display is not for sale). The Library Art Gallery resides on Info Island is a 3072 sqm parcel and has 703 prims. The Gallery has two floors and spacious land, plenty of space for artists and exhibitors to disiplay their art in SL. We enjoy hosting fine art of all formats and genres: painting, still life, modern art, contemporary, photography, abstracts, stained glass, pottery, sculptures. We offer live music and/or DJs with our exhibition openings and other special events and programs. The Library Art Gallery is also available for art librarians, art aficionados, other individuals in the Arts & Humanities and Education community to hold their own events such as open forums, Q&A sessions, or tutorials.

Those individuals or groups should contact Teofila Matova for details and scheduling.

I hope you will find this a place that is informative and where you can learn more about the events and exhibits at Library Art Gallery on Info Island.

Cheers!
--Teofila Matova (SL alias) ;-)
