La Gallery presents "Celebrities... also Painters" Going on Now! March 25th- May 25th
Tuesday, March 22, 2022
La Gallery, in connection with Soiree Events, proudly presents “ALSO PAINTERS…”- Friday, March 25, from 3:30 – 5:30 PM SLT
Question: What do Sylvester Stallone, Paul McCartney, Frank Sinatra, and George Bush have in common?
Answer: In addition to their contributions to their various fields of Acting, Songwriting, Performance Arts, and Politics, they were also painters. For this Grand Opening, La Gallery has assembled some 113 paintings, landscapes, and Self-Portraits from the world’s most prominent celebrities and sports figures.
Not just the opening of La Gallery - a new public art gallery dedicated to all kinds of exhibitions and events: painting, sculpture, photography, design, performances, and soon to become known as the Gallery of Galleries in SecondLife - but also the Grid Premier of “Also Painters…”, the finest and most comprehensive collection of celebrity art to be found anywhere on the Grid
Lalle Vanbeeck and La Gallery have scoured the internet to bring you the collected works of some of your all-time favorite personalities. When why she created La Gallery, Vanbeeck responded:
“I read some time ago an article presenting some celebrities who were also painters. Hence the idea of this exhibition showing the works of these “unknown” painters such as Bob Dylan, David Bowie…and many others”
WHO: La Gallery presents “Also Painters”
WHAT: SL’s premier collection of paintings done by multi-disciplinary celebrities, in this exclusive exhibit of the collected works of RL celebrity artists
WHY: To inform the public of the multi-dimensional characteristics of some of your favorite stars.
WHEN: Grande Opening Friday, March 25, from 3:30 – 5:30 PM SLT. The exhibit runs from 25 Mar - 25 May 2022

So, take a break from the usual Friday night scene of club-hopping, and come check us out. See how many of YOUR favorite celebrities were also painters and illustrators. Come nosh on Brie cheese and crackers, and sip champagne from the open Bar while you peruse the exhibit. Come alone, or with that special someone at your side. Come experience this lively evening with music brought to you directly from that prominent DJ, Norma Ricci. Come see the “artist within” as you view the expressions of art, and angst, from celebrities you have known about for years. You’ll be talking about this for years to come.

“A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.” - Salvador Dali
Dali couldn’t have said it any better. Artists aren’t just limited to one craft. From painters and sculptures to poets and musicians. Art has many branches of inspiration. In Second Life, the art community is spread across the virtual landscape with many talented people showcasing their work in a plethora of mediums from photography, sketches, watercolor, and graphic arts to mesh sculptures, textures, and builds. But they are not limited to virtually created art, art lovers from all over the world, and venue curators also recognize and celebrate famous artists as well.
La Gallery, The New Art Space presents a unique exhibition experience featuring musicians like Bob Dylan, David Bowie, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, and more who extended their musical talent into canvas paintings. Be sure to check out this impressive exhibition kicking off on March 25th at 3:30 pm SLT. Curated by Lalle Vanbeeck-Na and sponsored by The SL Enquirer.
SLE met up with Lalle to learn more about La Gallery, this event, and what’s to come.
