With 30 Second Life artists and photographers’ best works on display, this hidden jewel box is a must see in Second Life! There are over 175 images on display — not to mention a sitting area if you and your date or partner tire of wandering about the five levels of works. Currently the Exploratorium is undergoing an expansion and new art is being added. If you haven’t been, this is a great time to see what’s on offer.

FOCUS Magazine, FOCUS Gallery FAIR Gallery Exploratorium of Art, Holly Kai Estates (156, 130, 2726) – Moderate

This year’s annual two-week long event is drawing to a close. The shops are all open. People are buying and selling awesome photography items, but in the waning hours a lot of attention is on things like music and dancing. After all, it’s the weekend! So as the “gotta buy now before it ends” people hit any one or more of the 60+ vendors’ stalls, others are thinking of other things. As they should…

The last of our FOCUS Photo Fair challenge themes is “Halloween”. Submit your scary (or amusing) photo by 5 pm SLT, Friday, October 22nd. Simply drop your entry with full permissions into the FOCUS box (on the second floor, FOCUS Photo Fair) before the deadline and your image will go up for voting by the Fickle Friends of FOCUS Fanclub — as soon as the full moon rises and they rise from their dreary weekday lives.

By the way, there’s a cool area in the corner near the dancefloor for you to take your photos. Just don’t disburb the residents. Espcially the one named Yorick. (That’s him on the lower right).

Today Hermes Kondor will further explore SL camera controls, composition, lighting, and other topics — all illustrated with three mockup up living rooms. (Hey, take your own photos in them!) Though this is a followup on his workshop last week, everyone’s welcome to come and learn. Today, Wednesday, October 20th at 10 am SLT. Free!

Bsukmet Stormcrow is an incredibly talented composer from Madrid, Spain. He’ll be playing at the FOCUS Photo Fair starting at noon SLT today. Here’s his “Shattered, Almost Detached” if you’d like to preview some of his work. https://soundcloud.com/bsukmet-imniali

He has performed at IMAGO Art Gallery, Machismo & Angelikus Home, Art Korner, Kondor Art Gallery, Kuidvis Art Space, and Volli’s Music Station, just to mention a few of many, many venues — and now at FOCUS Photo Fair! Indeed, “This composer, piano player, band musician and Music Teacher is creating music within styles far outside the comfort zone!”

Sugah Pancake: 10 am – noon SLT

Don’t miss this full two hour workshop at the FOCUS Photo Fair. Best: it’s free! Those who have seen Sugah’s Flickr work know that the time will be zany but informative!
