Taking place over the weekend of the 22nd through 24th May is a special silent art auction organised by the Sail4Life team, with all proceeds raised going directly to Relay for Life of Second Life.

On offer to the highest bidders are a number of original maritime pieces offered by SL artists, all of which can be previewed and bid for on the hills of the beautiful Holy Kai Park on the north side of Blake Sea (you can read my write-up on the opening of the park here).

The pieces on offer are all original works, and represent a range of styles and approaches to maritime art that will grace any home in Second Life. What’s more, a donor who wishes to remain anonymous has offered to match the total amount raised through the donation kiosks during the course of the auction.

Things kick-off at 17:00 SLT on Friday, May 22nd, with a special auction launch party at the Holy Kai Park Pavilion, featuring DJ Joy Canadeo. The party will run through until 19:00 SLT on Friday. The auction will run through until Sunday, May 24th, with a further closing party at the Holy Kai Park Pavilion with DJ G Winz, from 15:00 through 17:00 SLT.

Further information on the event can be obtained from Winnie Sweetwater, chair, Sail4Life team.
