We are happy to announce the new publication of The Journal of Virtual
Worlds Research:

*Volume 6, Number 2: Arts*

The editorial team:

   - *Celeste Lovette Guichard, *Savannah College of Art and Design
   - *Laura Salciuviene, *Lancaster University Management School, UK
   - *Gary Hardee, *University of Texas at Dallas, TX, USA

This issue on Arts and Virtual Worlds features six exciting papers from
artists and scholars on a variety of topics, each investigating at least
one art medium (though often more) and its relevance to and within virtual
worlds. You will find papers about music, television, storytelling along
side avatar designs, real world assemblages and more artistic processes.
JVWR continues to encourage this diverse approach as we explore and expand
our field.
