A new LG Tower
05/15/2025
Great news. We were up against our Land Impact (LI) limits in our private homestead region of Nyunanga. Every piece of art we acquired brought us closer to declaring that this project, founded in 2007, was over. We've bitten the financial bullet, however, and upgraded to a full region!
Our gallery was founded on the airship that gives us our name - the AS "Limoncello". We outgrew her long ago however and while she's still in use, hosting three 120 metre-long decks worth of art most of our collection has long been on display at the LG Tower. At twenty storeys high, it provided more space than the old airship or our Bellisseria gallery in Dave's Linden Home. Now it has been rebuilt and is thirty storeys high! That's a lot of space to keep growing our collection of art in SL.
The tower always looked out of place all alone on a remote private island. So we've taken advantage of all the prims recently delivered in a Linden Lab truck and rebuilt it at the heart of a whole new city district: the Borough of Manda Vale. When you visit, not only will you find the LG Tower in a more realistic location, you'll also have the whole borough to explore.
SL artist AmandaT Tamatzui (the avatar of RL artist from New Zealand, Amanda Tomasoa) has also opened her own permanent gallery in Manda Vale. The Borough Council has dedicated a whole building on the corner of Boo Rojyo Street and Bridge Street to Art Galleries.of Second Life – doors through which (via an experience teleport) you can just walk into many of SL's best galleries.
Finally, the island itself will be returned to a state of nature. It's being landscaped in the style of one of our favourite places in the whole world - the Isle of Skye in Scotland. As if our art collection was not enough reason to visit, you'll now have the opportunity to catch a bus to Nyuskye and explore its natural beauty. Bring your camera!
The SL art scene is why we've stayed in SL so long. It's fun, it's vibrant and it's populated by some wonderful characters. We're muggles - we have no artistic magic at all - but we love art and artists and we're happy to be their patrons, supporters and – in some cases – friends.
Come visit us soon. You can pick up a free Mini Cooper in the car park behind the LG Tower to explore by road (just click on the bright yellow one and your own will rez next to it) or there are free bicycle rezzers everywhere!
