Here’s a look at the various wings of Spindrift Space Gallery:
*Spindrift Space astronomical art [Update Jan 2009 - SpinSpace Gallery acquired its own building in summer 2008. Here's my flickr photo set of SpinSpace.] And the slurl is: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Spindrift/89/84
*Ringworld Space Engineering illustrations
*Illustration Exchange incubator project
*SL residents’ gallery
And the flickr full-size gallery snapshots of them.
The Space Gallery got its start while I worked on Yuri’s Night 2007. In addition to the live music, dancing, fashion show, and videos, we included space art. I decided to import the astronomical/space portion of my personal art collection into SL. I suspended them in an open-air gallery on Spindrift, and picked a dozen for the Yuri stage and exhibit area.
Afterwards in April 2007, I mulled over whether to do anything further with the art. Troy McLuhan mentioned that he knew of no other space art gallery in SL. <Big light-bulb moment!> I immediately created the island-manager role “Space Art Curator” and appointed both of us to use it. :) Thanks for the triggering moment, Troy!
