my goblin alt (malivoire), named after the lovely ontario vintner, runs an "art gallery" as part of my bank alt guild system, . The gallery itself is simply called "The Grey's Gallery" and is supported both monetarily and through grey item loans and contributions by members of "The Society for the Appreciation of Greys"; all housed as mentioned under the umbrella guild "Deadwood".

THe gallery showcases the best and most legendary grey items in the game; specially focused of course on Greys with accompanying 'flavour text" though we dont restrict ourselves by any dogma; we're not lars von trier about it.

For example, some notable favourites of course:

http://www.wowhead.com/item=5173

We don't yet have our site up and running (where details on membership, fundraising, and altruistic realm activities will be features) but we are well on our way.

In order to visit the gallery, you do need to be a member of the guild. Lvl 1 alts seem to make the most sense and allow people to stay in their raiding guilds, while still partaking of the realms cultural offering.

For 100g you can join the guild as a patron of the Azerothian Arts and, at your leisure, meaner through the guild bank to peruse singular grey items and their associated flavour texts. Screenshots are permitted, but of course a mere screen shot won't allow you the pleasure of rolling over the items, and clicking through the various tabs.

for 500g, Deadwood will bestow the title of "Benefactor" on you and you'll be granted access to the "Fourth Tab" wherein are housed Grey delights few have ever laid eyes upon.

For a 1000g contribution you will be named as a curator and will be allowed to put together your own showcase of Greys in "Tab Five".

We are a fledgling operation having only formed a couple weeks ago, but so far we have over 50 works exhibited with more coming in every day from friends and past guild mates. Soon, through contributions, we hope to expand to a 6th Tab perhaps focusing on our "White" exhibit. But that's looking ahead.

Please feel free to send in-game mail with questions or donations to Malivoire or Threesixteen on Turalyon.
