Galleria is a large circular city located within the Blue Divide Ocean of Tesseract, connected on the east and west side to the mainlands by long quartz bridges; the east bridge leading directly into the Red Marble. It is the formal successor to the Ville d'Art in New Avalon, and Le Capitale De l'Art in Voxellia, meant to hold works of art by the server's playerbase.

Current Status

Construction of Galleria began on the opening day of Tesseract, on August 13th, 2016. As of now, the city's structure is complete and fully decorated, and every small plot is available for claiming. In addition, every mural canvas is finished and available for painting on.

The main city was completed on the 8th of October, at that point with many art works already complete. From there, work began on the north and south dock villages. The Galleria Wool Hall, which lies on an island connected to the north village, was completed on the 16th of October.

Construction of the sub-floor, Artreach, began on the 1st of November, 2016. While technically part of Galleria, it is counted as its own separate project.

Plot Rules

A plot is a circular area on the ground within the city. These are set up to hold artwork made by the players.

  • To reserve a 3D plot, ask Fubaka. As of now only small plots may be claimed. Larger plots will be handed out only at Fubaka's discretion.
  • The height limit for building on small plots is 21 blocks from the ground (grass) level of the plot. Depth limit is down to the water level.
    • For medium plots, the height limit is 42 blocks from the ground.
  • Do not build outside of or replace the quartz boundary (exceptions may be granted for the sake of the art, ask Fubaka for details).
  • For small plots, anything may be used for building, except for active beacons.
    • In medium plots, a lit beacon must be used somewhere in the center of the plot.
  • You may build anything as art, but Fubaka reserves the right to reject your work at his discretion and remove it (you'd have to try to do poorly for this to happen).
  • If you take too long to finish your work, it will be cleared and your reservation removed.

Mural Rules

Murals are 2D works of art. Galleria has nine major areas where murals can be built, along the city's walls, and on the floors of the bridges connecting the city to the mainland. You may work on murals without specific permission, but you must still follow these rules when building.

  • Do not build outside of the specified boundaries, including in the 3rd dimension.
  • Build on top of the dirt/cobble base; do not replace the base.
  • Feel free to chip away the edges of existing mural work as needed, but do not destroy the mural itself.
  • Try to keep in theme with nearby mural work.

Trivia

  • Galleria's total area (not including the docks and the bridges) is 327x327 pixels.
  • Fubaka sucked many a players' dirt and quartz reserves dry in order to furnish the city.
  • The first finished plot, Light Entries, is also the structure that players warp into when entering Galleria via the Portal Tower.
  • The 16th finish plot, Tempestuous Turbine, was the first plot art built after the city's completion.
  • The 25th finished plot, Overgrown, was the first finished plot that also serves as a player house.
