Photographs of the Artwalk captured by Wildstar Beaumont
As promised last week, in this episode we are visiting Raglan Shire and the amazing Artwalk – and the episode is going live at 2pm Monday 10th June. You can watch on the Designing Worlds channel at https://vimeo.com/channels/dworlds or you can join our Watch Party in our beautiful studio at Garden of Dreams.
Raglan Shire is the home of the Tinies, but artists (and visitors) of all sizes are welcome at the event, which extends over several regions and features the work of over 130 artists working in all kinds of media. The bulk of the display of 2D art is held in a giant tree with a maze of hedges on which the art is mounted. There are also sculpture gardens for 3D works and interactive exhibits.
We talk to Zayn Till, the creator of the Tinies and the community that centres around Raglan Shire, and to Linn Darkwatch, who has been closely involved with this year’s Artwalk, one of Raglan’s annual cycle of events (which include the famous Wootmas! and the Tiny carollers).
And we meet one of the artists taking part, Vic Titanium, who has created a stunning Art Tower, which is the centre of the teleportation system that he had also created – which Saffia gets to try out!
This is a fun show, with beautiful things to see, and a salute to a strong and enduring community within Second Life – so do join us, or watch on the web!

All too often, we have to say “Sadly, the event is finished now” but this is not true today, as the Artwalk is open through Sunday 16th June.
You can visit Raglanshire and the Artwalk here:

Once you land, grab information to guide you through the different locations. You’ll find a notecard with landmarks in the poster at the top of the teleport hub, or you can take direct teleport links. Or there’s the hedgiepillar or take one of the dragin fly tours or … well, you could just walk and see all the amazing art on offer!
