The top photo is of the big, borked ditch Linden Lab has recently dug between Art Portal Park, in Masan, and the road. The other two photos are of the chopped up, uneven, abandoned land on all sides of the small park. The parcel was claimed May 24, 2018, and once upon a time the land was smooth. As an owner and renter of numerous small parcels all over the mainland continents, this isn't unusual for the surrounding land to be terraformed by the Lindens to look like a disaster.

Perhaps there's a good "reason" why this destruction is wrought. With the increasing difficulty in "loading world" and teleporting, I wish they'd find something better to "fix".

Art Portal Park was created with care, and visitors are welcome. Please be careful if you immerse and walk off the parcel.

ONCEAGAIN Art Gallery by manoji.yachvili

"Prompt

In an era where culture is fueled by an incessant flow of digital content, Prompt Art fits perfectly into this logic of ephemeral consumption: an art that vanishes in the blink of an eye, sometimes without leaving a trace or a lasting connection with the viewer because it often lacks the depth and sustainability of more traditional works."

I've changed my art at The Cultured Goats Gallery in Taeniatum, Heterocera. The pieces are experiments with limited color palettes.

The treehouse gallery is owned by Elle Thorkveld, who also shows art, as does Klaus. And there's a Last Drop Cafe on the parcel. The treehouse gallery is next to the High Mountain Road.
