Officially launching on Sunday, May 3rd, but open for preview now is a very special silent auction taking place through until the end of May in aid of Relay for Life.

Vision of Hope is being hosted at Hope Haven Heroes, where the survivors and caregivers support groups meet. It comprises pieces donated by some of Second Life’s top photographers and visual artists including Boudicca Amat, Tomais Ashdene, Skippy Beresford, Bijou, Randy Firebrand, Morgan Kincess, Em Larsson, Ziki Questi, Ricco Saenz, Hillany Scofield, Bear Silvershade, and Trinity Yazimoto.

All of the pieces on offer to the highest bidders are in large format, and have a reserved starting bid of just L$400 (bidding can be increased in L$100 increments). As this is a silent auction, bids will be tallied and the winners announced on May 31st. 100% of all proceeds from the bidding will go to RFL of SL.

To mark the auction’s formal launch, there will be a special party on Sunday, May 3rd, kicking-off at 13:00 SLT, featuring the music of DJ Cupric. An open invitation is extended for people to attend.

All the pieces that have been donated are unique to the auction, making this a one-time opportunity to obtain some really superb artwork while also raising money for RFL of SL. So be sure to make a note of the event in your diary, and do pop along to the Hope Haven Heroes gallery during May.
