Moe Goes to Paris

Park Artist, Moeuhane Sandalwood, is currently presenting "An Avatar in Paris" Jan 15 - Feb 14 at Showroom West, Aeonia Arts. This unique show is a much larger installation than the pieces he showed recently at Park Galleries and includes a prim replica of the Louvre pyramid. Enjoy watching Moe in many Parisian scenes, some familiar, others not. Sometimes he is with other people, sometimes to the side, even taking the picture in one.

Click on the picture above for a larger view. Please drop by and enjoy Moe's show as well as as other excellent work at Aeonia Arts.

Park Galleries: New Build, New Works!

It's been a while, but time to share that we have an entirely new build and some wonderful new works by the Park Artists. We've also established The Legacy Gallery for some of our pioneer Park Artists. We'll have a formal re- opening later in the month, but do drop by and take an early look.

April at Park Galleries

April 2010 is a busy month for Park Galleries and Park Gallery Artists.

The biggest news is that Park Galleries founder, Angel Enoch, is exhibiting 6 new works in The Commons Gallery. It is such a honor and pleasure to have her back at Park :)

Park Artist, Kayly Ilai has hung a group of new landscape-inspired works on the first floor of her gallery at Park. Not only are they evocative images, but they are priced nicely.

The works of the late Artistic Fimicoloud are on sale to benefit Relay for Life at Park Galleries at Copley Square. Not only was she a good friend and fine artist, but she owned Park galleries between Angel and Samara Barzane.

Current Park Gallery owner, Samara Barzane is having a busy month with her "Memory Layers" exhibit at Kelly Yap Art Gallery drawing to a close, but also anticipating the opening of a new group of works at Twilight Art Gallery. More on the latter in a bit.

AND we have the beginnings of The Spirit of Relay RFL Team Vendor Store.

Park Galleries UPDATES

Better late than never. This is the last day of the Park Artists' exhibit at Demago Galleries. This is the second part of what started with a Demago exhibit in our Commons Gallery. Thanks again to Luka Dayafter and his collaborative spirit.

My apologies for the delay in posting events. RL overtook me for most of March. Do check back often though as the upcoming season is going to be an active one for Park Artists.

Park Artist Moeuhane Sandalwood at Aeonia Arts

The works currently on display at Aeonia Arts Showroom West is called Condamnation: A Country between Devastation and Hope. This installation was the result of the powerful effect the images coming out of Haiti after the earthquake had on Park Galleries Artist, Moeuhane Sandalwood. While some of the walls pieces are in Moe's gallery at Park, this is the place to see all of them, as well as his box constructions, which add both literal and figurative depth to the experience of Haiti's suffering.

Please do drop by, experience the exhibit and contribute generously to the Haiti relief effort.

New Souvenirs Gallery Has Opened as Part of Park Galleries

As owner of Park Galleries for the past 2 years I have always focused on the Park Artists through encouragement, publicity, and our participation in 60 Linden Sunday and gallery exchanges. I had a small gallery of my travel "Souvenirs" but that was it.

Then all of a sudden the creative bug bit. And I became to process some of my many travel images into multi-layered photo-montages. Some use multiple images, others just rely on one. I've always wanted to open a gallery in my home sim, Pumori, but never had the time or creative energy. Then, just as quickly as creativity struck, Souvenirs/Park Galleries at Samara's Park came into being.

Please drop by and enjoy the complex and, in many cases, colorful images, as well as the restful courtyard. I will be getting more information up soon about the process and the images involved in each work, but for now just ask me any questions you may have.

Also be sure to drop by The Commons Gallery at Park to see the beautiful and evocative works of artists from Former Yugoslavia shown through the courtesy of Demago Gallery

This Week's 60L Sunday offering from Park Galleries

From now until Sunday evening we have works by longtime Park Artists Finny Yates and alba2 Rossini on offer for 60L each. Finny's is a beautiful fantasia on palm trees, while alba2 gives us the Italian city ofTorino at night. Both are excellent additions to any SL art collection.

Park Artist Pol Jarvinen at Cushing Island

Don't miss 21 of Pol's mystically absorbing boxes on display right now at Cushing Island. Be sure to use the poseballs, because many of the boxes reveal their complexity only then. The title of his exhibit is, aptly, "Be the Art."

Also showing is feather Boa and both have works for sale in support of The Children of Haiti.

We're lucky to have one or two of Pol's boxes at Park on a rotating basis, as well as some of his smaller works, but don't miss this chance to see them all!

The Park Galleries Limo Service

Welcome to The Park Galleries Blog!

The Park Galleries of SL ^tm , founded by Angel Enoch, was one of the first artist-run group galleries on the grid. In 2007 the late Artistic Fimicoloud bought the galleries from Angel and ran them until her untimely death in May 2008, at which time Samara Barzane took ownership and has run the galleries ever since.


We hope you enjoy our blog and visit us in Second Life ^tm in the Mainland Park Sim. We'll use this blog to keep you informed about our artists and updated on all news related to The Park Galleries.
