Welcome to Artist Mentors

Artist Mentors is a Second Life based group dedicated to supporting and mentoring new artists and gallery owner/curators in SL. We will be coordinating group-wide projects, sharing ideas, and assisting new gallery owners.

If you are a new artist in Second Life, looking for some guidance on getting started, if you are an SL resident who's been working up the courage to show your art in SL, or if you are an artist wondering how you can have your art represented in Second Life, this is the place to start.

If you are an established artist or gallery owner/curator in SL and would like to help new artists, we welcome your assistance. Please contact us!

This group is open to all RL & SL art gallery owners/curator/resident artists. IM Sasun Steinbeck, Roxanne Lundquist, Tricia Aferdita or Cora Dibou (within SL) for an invitation.

Possible upcoming classes/informational documents:

• Preparing your art/photos for Second Life
  • Size, file types, uploading
• Lag: It's causes and prevention
• Writing a Bio
• How to deal with IP rights in your gallery (i.e. artists/renters trying to sell copyrighted, stolen materials)
