I have been contacted by Kirsty Best, the director of a Centre for ME/CFS in the virtual world Second Life http://www.mecfscentre.org

This post is re-written from the information Kirsty provided in her email to me.

The Second Life Centre for ME/CFS are holding a week of events in the Centre for the week surrounding ME/CFS Awareness Day. One suggestion our members came up with was to exhibit artwork (in the form of paintings, photos, poems, etc) that captures the experience of ME/CFS.

Would any artists be interested in having any creative works featuring the experience of ME/CFS included in the exhibition?

All you need to do is contact Kirsty and provide digital files. Attribution and contact details would be included in the exhibition.

Hopefully the exhibition would become a permanent feature of the Centre and this will help generate a greater understanding of the experience of ME/CFS, as well as providing publicity for artists with ME/CFS whose work is featured.

Here’s wishing everyone all involved every success with the exhibition.

To contact Kirsty email K.Best [at] murdoch.edu.au

“The ME/CFS Centre in Second Life is open to anyone with ME/CFS, and their friends and family. We hold meetings in-world on Mondays at 6pm Pacific time, and Thursdays at 3pm Pacific time (11pm in the UK). If you have any interest in Second Life, please drop by. We mostly have members from North America and Australia, but are starting to be known to people in the UK, so I would be very happy to set up another time more convenient. I also encourage people to use our rooms/ gardens to hold events. You may also be interested in joining our mailing list.”
