10th Annual Rock Your Rack Event is on the way!
Hello, my name is Tara. Today I and my cat Fluffy will take you with tour over Rock Your Rack charity event.
Few words about RYR 2022 from Jamee Sandalwood, organizer:
"Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 12% of women, and an every increasing percentage of men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.
Models Giving Back is pleased to present Rock Your Rack, an annual fundraising event combining the best of SL Music, Art, Dance and Fashion to support the work of breast cancer charities and raise awareness for early detection which is critical to a positive outcome for this devastating disease.
This year's sponsors include Blue Rose Creations, Cute N Cuddly Breedables, BOSLArts, Dark Star Radio, Designs by Soosy, Kultivate Music Management, LOPO District, and Fire Within.
Thank you to our Media sponsors as well for getting the word out: BOSL Magazine, Equalizer Magazine, Grid Affairs, Kultivate Magazine, Hostcrate, Media SL, ModeLS Magazine, The SL Enquirer, and XRadio SL.
This year's event will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation which provides free mammograms, education, support and early detection services to anyone in need.
Designers will be providing limited edition creations with 100% of the sales of those items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest, exclusive and most popular designs for your shopping pleasure. And, of course, the very popular 10L hunt will be up and running in the 50+ different designer booths and 35+ different artist booths."

My cat loves art. No wonder, because he is always with me when I go to exhibitions and galleries. He is used to looking around carefully and listening to what they tell him, and in his intelligent eyes you can always find the right feedback and opinion. Now we are walking together through the rows of huge hangars in the seaport, which brought (or maybe, on the contrary, they are preparing to breed) paintings in different countries. The coldness of large containers cannot hide the warmth of the paintings you see in them. Our artists are all so different and offer their own vision. You can definitely find something special that touches only your soul and emotions, just for yourself. Or maybe you want to share your feelings and impressions with someone else? Then take your friend and walk through this art area together. How we did it together with my cat.
36 SL artists and photographers presented their work at the RYR. Everything is here: joy and sadness, monochrome and diversity, abstraction and classics. Someone expresses hope, someone shows weakness. In many artworks we see a Nature as a universal source of positive impact on our psyche. It is always soothing and helps to find the right condition in conjunction with effective treatments. Some artworks are deeply reflective and reflect the real or what the author himself had to endure. Either way, you'll be able to find something special for yourself to think about. And it's good if art helps you.
In below I would like to tell about special artist's "family", they present Unity Art Team and are members of Unity Fashion modeling agency, combining art and fashion in their SL work. I'm very proud to be part of this team and talk about my friends and what they do.
Artworks by Tara Paxlapis-Savior: digital painting based on her RL art (100% charity) and mandalas. Mandalas are beautiful, stained glass effect textures and multi-functional. You may use them as wearable halo, as wall decor, as extra for any styling, etc. 50% charity. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pacific%20Haven/184/234/22
Artworks by Viktor Savior. Wonderful RL artist, great person, very talented man I ever met. If you have not been in Dragon Sanctuary http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dragon%20Sanctuary/149/155/1523, you should find some time and visit - Viktor's artworks are amazing, full of colors and light. Very inspired! At RYR he presents a new series with Windy Flowers - free-breathing living moving colors. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pacific%20Haven/184/234/22

His paintings are real and available for purchase as physical. He expresses his vision in series "Infinity"dedicated to greek philosophy. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pacific%20Haven/184/234/22
Artworks by Tekillka Irbis. How amazing it is when a person begins to believe in himself and discovers hidden talents in himself. Tekillka creates very kind soft life stories in his paintings. They are filled with a feeling of love, friendship, support, warmth. These are sincere feelings that we all need. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pacific%20Haven/88/233/22
I can't get past one of my favorite artists - Sheba Blitz and her amazing mandalas. It was she who inspired me to start creating my own works and put in them the meaning, color and piece of soul that every artist shares with people. Her work is unique and very rare, so take the chance of SL to own such a wonderful paintings. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pacific%20Haven/123/216/22
Artworks by Matt Thomson and Jamee Sandalwood. Very famous couple of artists in SL who are very dedicated to creating and supporting art and organizing various events. Their names and talent speak for themselves and no more words are needed, just come and enjoy the amazing works. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pacific%20Haven/70/227/22
The location for the event itself is built in the style of a modern American city with all urban elements: wide roads, sidewalks, tall buildings, city parks, the Statue of Liberty, a lot of designer shops and a lot of advertising like any big city. The event has a large event schedule, every day from October 1-16 something interesting will happen. Check the schedule and arrive on time. And of course, I want to draw your attention to the designers who also belong to the Unity Team and we love and are proud of them and, of course, support them. After all, sincere support always motivates to create new items, believe in our strengths and move forward towards development. So...
