Art Auction for Charity at Australia SIm
Top Dingo was proud to be asked to host an art auction in the forecourt of the Opera House in our 'Australia' sim in Second Life. The event was organised and run by Mariposa Upshaw, the new curator of the Opera House Gallery. Mari organised a very impressive lineup of Australian artists to donate their work to be auctioned off as a part of the Jamm for Genes event.
Jamm for Genes is an annual multi - sim event organised inworld musician OhMy Kidd to raise money and awareness of Jeans for Genes (). The Auction, following entertainment by OhMy and Jackdog Snook, was well attended by art fans from Australia and around the world. Spirited bidding saw the art raise $L90,000 towards an amazing event grand total of $L477,751 in donations to the Jeans for Genes organisation.
This was the first event organised in Australia by the new curator of our Opera House Gallery and what an awesomely great way to kick off Top Dingo's partnership with Mari.
