The Virtual Artist Alliance group has put together a nice little guide to launching your art career in Second Life, detailed with information on content creation, display, the need to own land, etc.
To the great suggestions made there, I would add the following --
1. Join Arts Council of Second Life to keep up to date on art events and new galleries
2. Once you have your gallery, send a landmark and note about it to Sasun Steinbeck - her SL gallery kiosk is seen in most well-known art spaces
3. Follow art blogs and announcements on worldofsl.com or set up your own searches on art events on technorati, google reader, etc.
4. Posting images of your art and experiences in SL via flickr and joining the art groups there is also a great way of being introduced to the community.
1. Glad to actually see something about legitimate art in SL!
I host legitimate art for free at Squeeze One Plaza. I'm always down to help people get going with creativity so IM me if you're interested, you kooky Real Artist in Second Life, you!
