Artemisia: Living with Art

After some aging pains the lovely island of Artemisia is renewed, but with some of your old favorite features still intact. We still have the submarine rides and hang gliders and smiley spacecraft. We still have Artemisia Bay and boardwalk with lush undersea life and free scuba equipment. And we still have our beloved Treehouse music venue where Shannon Oherlihy has been performing live on Sunday nights for over two years.

New to the island are a few new art galleries and a few other surprises. Here’s a list of what you’ll find here:

The Treehouse at Artemisia

Look up. In the middle of the island, on top of the hill, is the giant Treehouse club. This is a popular ad hoc gathering space for the residents, but it is also our venue for some of the best live music in SL. We have hosted performances by Freestar Tammas, Montian Gilruth, Harper Messmer, Matthew Perreault, and others. For over two years the beautiful Shannon Oherlihy has been performing here Sunday evenings to wrap up your weekend and make you feel good about life for the week ahead. Watch for more great events in our unique space.

The open water surrounding the island looks peaceful from above, but it holds lots of surprises underneath. Grab a boat and sail around, or pilot a submarine and hit the depths. Free scuba equipment is available on the dock and several very cool modes of transportation are available. (Not responsible for shark bites.)

Cosmos Hi-Tech Disco
