Sunwheel Studio is a cultural space dedicated to excellence in the visual and performing arts in Second Life—a place where art is not only presented, but thoughtfully framed, experienced, and remembered.
At Sunwheel, rotating two- and three-dimensional exhibitions, live music, performance, and cultural events unfold within carefully designed environments that treat space itself as part of the artistic experience. The studio’s guiding symbol, the circle, represents eternity, unity, and perfection—values reflected in the way exhibitions, performances, and audiences are brought together into a cohesive whole.
Sunwheel Studio is led by Sethos Lionheart, CEO and Creative Director, and Violet Boa, Director of PR & Communications. Together, they shape Sunwheel as both a physical and cultural environment. Sethos, a longtime builder and landscaper in Second Life, designs each gallery and landscape with aesthetic intention, creating spaces that support presence, atmosphere, and reflection. Violet’s vision functions as a curatorial lead, helping to guide programming, artistic focus, and the way exhibitions and events are shared with the wider Second Life community.
Working in close collaboration with iloveevents.online, Sunwheel Studio extends creative moments beyond the sim through thoughtful promotion and editorial reflection, allowing art and performance to live on through writing, documentation, and shared conversation.
Sunwheel Studio exists for artists, performers, and residents who value care over spectacle and depth over noise—a place where culture is cultivated with intention, collaboration, and a long view toward what virtual art spaces can be.

Featured Story
Sunwheel Studio
For those who seek a sanctuary where visual and performing arts converge, where the energy of creation is honored in every brushstroke and every chord, welcome to Sunwheel Studio — a radiant hub of artistic excellence in Second Life.
At Sunwheel Studio we believe that art is more than imagery; it is a force. A force that invites participation, reflection, and transformation. Here, the creative spirit is celebrated through rotating exhibits of two- and three-dimensional work from Second Life’s most visionary artists, coupled with live music, performance, and cultural gatherings that enrich our virtual community.
The Sunwheel — the circle that gives our Studio its name — is an emblem of eternity, unity, and perfection. From ancient cosmologies to modern aesthetics, the circle has long symbolized continuity without beginning or end. At Sunwheel Studio, it stands as a reminder that art persists, that culture evolves, and that every visitor becomes part of a larger creative narrative.
A Home for Artists and Audiences Alike
Sunwheel Studio serves as a temporary home for:
2-D Exhibitions — curated shows of painting, digital art, photography, and mixed media that reflect the breadth of SL’s visual arts.
3-D Installations and Sculpture — immersive environments and sculptural works that invite exploration from every angle.
Live Performance and Music — from experimental soundscapes to chamber ensembles and theatrical showcases, our stage is open to the bold and the beautiful.
Cultural Discourse — artist talks, panel discussions, and informal salons that bridge practice and theory.
Each program is conceived not as an isolated event, but as a moment in the ongoing dialogue between artist, audience, and world.
