On Sunday August 5 at 1PM, the Gallery Graine in the Blue Curacao sim
held it's last event. In July, it's owner Graine MacBain announced she
would be closing closing down the sim and the gallery due to pressures
and developments in real life and Second Life,
which she explained in a reader submission to the Newser. Anibrm Jung, whose nature photography was being featured there, announced the event.
Join
us at 1 pm for the closing party for ANIBRM JUNG at Gallery Graine. The
gallery is closing and with it we are saluting our last exhibitor,
ANIBRM JUNG. Ani's rl nature photography is done in camera with no
post-production modifications. It's just nature captured live. Ani has
been our guest her at the gallery now for some time and we were proud
that she made it her home. Music provided BY the always exciting DJ
CYNTHIA MAINE! Greetings Graine MacBain.
Dropping
by the gallery, Graine and Anibrm had several supporters at the event
whom had come to give the place one last look and wish the location
owner well. "No worries," Graine told me when I mentioned the closing,
"It saw its glory days."
Cynthia Maine, who DJed for
the event, had "Twilight" as the final song. Graine thanked the people
for dropping by, "Thanks to all for coming to this last closing event at
Gallery Graine. ... Feel free to look around ... Feel free to explore,
this will still be here for another day." Anibrm still had until the
following morning to collect her artwork.
Graine had to
depart once the event was done, "I hate to seem rude but I must run to
real-life. ... Thanks once more and be well!" Anibrm thanked her for
the use of the place to show off her photography, "Thank you for being
so nice all the time ... thank you for your kindness!" When I asked
Anibrm if she had another project she wanted to mention, she answered,
"Not yet, but I will let you know of course!"
And so, the Gallery Graine's last hurrah was basically over, with the remainder of the day left for anyone who wanted to to drop by to give it a final look.

Thank you again for your interest in my galleries and their closing, Bixyl. Whenever I wonder if I wasted my time in SL over these years, I am reminded of all the great people whom I have met in SL and their passionate commitment to it and its' culture. Then I know it was all worth it.
