ART EXHIBITION & COMPETITION

Relay For Life of Second Life - TEAM SAIL 4 LIFE

ART EXHIBITION [Nautical Theme]
& COMPETITION [What RFL Means To Me]
29th April to 13th May 2012
 
Exhibition Opening & Party from Midday SL time on 29th April
Competition Judging 6th May
Sponsored by Starboards Yacht Club & Fishers Island Yacht Club


This ‘Art in the Garden’ show is set within the beautiful sailing waters of our community and will be hosted in a specially designed garden at Holly Kai Estates, off Blakes Sea.
 
Team Sail4Life are a community of many sailing clubs, consisting of hundreds of sailing sims.  Preference will therefore be given to artists working to a nautical theme in any media.

EXHIBITION DETAILS
Artists will be provided with a tent space in which to rezz their art for sale.
A 100 prim allowance will be allocated to all artists; although artists working in prim heavy media such as 3D/sculptures who need more prims can make an application for consideration for more prims if necessary.

Rules:  Artists must donate a minimum of 2 works of art in to be sold in an official Sail 4 Life, RFLofSL vendor. In addition, they may exhibit other works of art for private sale and will be allowed to promote their art gallery by providing a notecard/LM giver. 

Reciprocally,  we also expect that artists will provide a LM giver, linking to the art show from their gallery or website/blog,  and promote the event to their group, or via a poster at their gallery because this is about raising funds for RFL.

Please send a notecard to Pippa Rexen with a link to your art studio/store or a notecard with snapshots of your artwork to view, no later than 19th April.

COMPETITION
In addition to the exhibition, we will be running, concurrently, a competition on the theme of
What RFL Means To Me’.  There will be three categories judged.  

1] Canvas
2] Sculpture - non animated
3] Sculpture - Scripted/Animated

The final day for entry to this competition will be 29th April.  Judging will take place on
6th May.  A cup will be awarded to the winner of each group and a certificate to 2nd and 3rd places. 

This Art in the Garden show will be promoted with a special opening event on 29th April as well as via the RFLofSL events board throughout the 2 week period.  This is a fantastic opportunity to bring your artwork to an appreciative audience  and promote your work, as well as assisting in fund raising for this very special cause.

the 2012 Special Events Committee presents..

A Guide to the Teams R Us Events in 2012

The Teams R Us Committee is happy to present the 2012 list of MULTI-TEAM events. As the season progresses and in the midst of individual team fundraising, it is this committees goal to  give the teams an opportunity to come together as one GIANT team, have fun and still raise donations for their own team kiosk.  The Teams R Us Committee, lead by SHAYLA JURAN, will send a notice to the Mentors Group and Captains group with enough advanced notice, prior to each event, to allow teams time to respond,  if they wish to participate.

NOTE:  If you would like to suggest a Teams R Us idea or are organizing a fun project you'd like to include all the teams in, please IM SHAYLA JURAN or drop a notecard in the suggestion box at the Teams R Us display at ACS island.
