Linden Lab lost me for a week. Now I am back!!
Sunday I attended the
opening of the very first "Culture and Fun" exhibit of a wonderful artist,
Pan Yuliang. "Culture and Fun" is a group that sends out very interesting notices
everyday with quotes and historical perspectives. ”We occupy with cultural
things in widest sense. This includes every kind of music, the
belles-letters, poems, philosophy, history, painting, architecture and all
other more or minor aesthetic and fine arts” is the group vision. Now
they are starting a new venture of exhibits by artists that not only display
their art but give you a wonderful background on the artist. 
Pan Yuliang is
recognized world wide as China’s first modern artist. She had an extraordinary
life and career which paralleled that of Modern China. She was born under the
Empire, sold into prostitution, bought by a revolutionary, was the first woman
to attend art school, the first to study with men, the first to study
overseas, the first to exhibit solo and the first to combine Western and
Chinese artistic techniques. And she produced exquisite art. 
Her entire
history is available in several languages at the exhibit. I recommend that
you visit the exhibit which will end . The group founder, Lizzy Pleides, told
me that the exhibit was put together by Tessa Zalivstok and Jaelle Faerye.
There will be more exciting exhibits to see . This one will be there until
November 25 or perhaps longer.http://slurl.com/secondlife/
