September 20, 2007 (Second Life) - One of the most anticipated art events of the year is this weekend's re-inaugural Gala at the Crescent Moon Museum, Second Life's longest-running and most beloved art museum.  The Crescent Moon Museum has moved to its new, much larger location at the Fairchang Village Island.

The Crescent Moon will formally re-open its doors this Saturday, September 22nd, at 5pm SLT. Live performances by saxophone player Anakin Gallacher at 6pm, followed by pianist Enniv Zarf at 7pm, will serve as a musical backdrop and fill the moonlit gathering with their enchanting melodies.

On that same evening and for this weekend only, Random Calliope - founder and creator of the highest fashion house of jewelry, the Random Calliope Gallery and Worthwhile line  - will make available and free to all attending, his extraordinary collection of pearls, the edicatory Gatsby.

Art Sanctuary Isle is a whole new site based on Raspirit Heron's artwork; after initially being started in the skies above Hardangerfjord, Art Sanctuary rapidly evolved into a shared vision between the artist and SL content creator and scripter WieBenIk Beaumont; Raspirit Heron's (aka Tone Aa's) RL paintings are being transformed into an environment; with the moods and atmospheres characteristic in her imagery.

The paintings which the site is based on are also exhibited throughout the site - a fairytale-like island with 'Castle of Golden Apples' (a nine story high castle filled with poems and images), Frog Castle (where her more nature-inspired paintings are shown), and Sun Flower House, Magical apple trees and gates, a chariot pulled by sea horses, and many more SL inspired creations.
