What Is UASL?:
UASL (United Artists of SL)
UASL is designed to be relaxed group of artists in SL that share their art and communicate regarding various art events and opportunities open to the artist community. We encourage artists to use their imagination and to develop their skills in a manner that is a positive influence to all of the art community. We provide a full region of exhibiting and performance opportunities for art of many types and genres. We promote artists and their work to the best of our abilities. We always strive to bring awareness to the arts in Second Life.
Second Life has a vast number of different types of art and artists. What “art” actually is different for each person. For that reason, UASL can not fully support all of the infinite art form possibilities at this time. While we respect all forms of art, there are other groups that are just more appropriate for other types of art. Our focus is on original content creation and performance.
Our focus is as follows:
UASL supports art that is at least 50% original work by the artist. The entire art form is considered; Objects, textures, scripts, media (audio and video) and anything that makes up the art must be at least 50% of original work completed by the artist. Artists work very hard and long hours to achieve this goal and that is to be respected.
Includes work:
This would include works with various mediums such as 2D (photos, textures), 3D objects, and audio/video that is composed and produced by the artist. Work can be created in real life and imported into SL or originally created in SL. Events that serve to promote art as stated.
This does not include work:
Purchased objects, textures, or scripts. Streamed audio/video originally created/recorded by another artist. Club or other non gallery related venue oriented event.
Content on UASL land must meet the requirements for SL’s Moderate region standards.
Anyone is welcome to join us. Looking at other people’s art can give a person great inspiration and encourage learning. Most members of our group do not mind helping others. But any member should already know the basics of creating in SL. We are not a “beginner’s” group, but we can point you in the right direction to learn the basics.
We strive to provide a calm and respectful environment for artists to exhibit and perform in the manner they intend. We do not discriminate, but in order to insure a peaceful and unhindered art exhibit or performance for our artists, disruptive or disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated in any form by any person or any artist. We will always do what is best for the majority of the group.
GROUP MEMBERSHIP:
You must be a member of the UASL group to participate in any of the exhibits and rez anything anywhere on UASL land. Join here:

As you all know, I am a lover of creativity and art and many of the art loving community appreciates the music part as art as well. I always look up if this both comes together and it comes out as a symbiotic result.
