Avatar Repertory Theater is a project of New Media Arts, Inc., a nonprofit foundation, tax exempt under IRC 501(c)(3).

🇺🇸 In light of recent events in the USA, we will begin with one minute of silence to honor and acknowledge the situation.

DJ Yana Banana is bringing the heat with a pulse-pounding EDM set that’ll shake the grid and light up your soul!

🕕 6AM Gridtime
📍 Main Landing Point – AMV Grid

Expect electrifying drops, wild energy, and a vibe so intense the roof might just blow off. But before the beats kick in, we’ll take a moment to stand still and reflect.

💥 Come early. Stay wild. Let the music take over.

🎁 Heads up – Gift Alert!

Hey lovely group members, I’ve put together a little present for you – just because you’re awesome (and maybe because my inventory was starting to look like a digital attic 😅).

You’ll find the gift right next to the visitor board – it’s hard to miss unless your graphics settings are set to “potato.” Just give it a click and enjoy!

Important: 👉 To receive the gift, you need to have the group activated (make sure it’s set as your active group in the viewer). 👉 The gift is exclusive to group members and includes several goodies – don’t miss out!

If the box ignores you, don’t take it personally – it’s probably just sulking because your group isn’t active. Or it’s having a pixel mood swing. You know how it is.

Enjoy the gift, and thanks for being part of this wonderfully quirky, creative, pixel-loving community! 💖

Calling the OSGRID Family. The Fundraising Auction will be held at the end of September. We need more items to auction but those we have can be seen on ECHO 1. The dates of the auctions will be shown here once they have been fixed. Then come all and enjoy the parties.

Here’s an expanded legend you can study — now the gray category has a country‑by‑country key so you can see exactly who they are and why they don’t have an official Labour Day / Workers’ Day.

🗺 Updated Legend

🔵 May 1 – International Workers’ Day Chosen in 1889 to honor the 1886 U.S. labor strikes and the Haymarket affair. Observed in most of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

🟢 1st Monday in September – U.S. & Canada Adopted in the late 1800s to avoid the socialist/communist associations of May Day.

🟠 Date in October – Australia & New Zealand Linked to the Eight‑Hour Day movement and local spring observances.

⚪ No Official Labour Day – Country Key & Reasons These countries do not have a dedicated public holiday called “Labour Day” or “Workers’ Day,” though some may mark work‑related events in other ways:

Country Reason

Saudi Arabia Public holidays center on Islamic festivals; no secular workers’ holiday.

United Arab Emirates Similar to Saudi Arabia; labor rights recognized in other ways.

Qatar No public holiday for workers; focus on religious/national days.

Kuwait Same as above; May 1 not observed officially.

Oman Religious and national holidays take precedence.

Bahrain No official Labour Day; labor issues addressed through other channels.

Morocco May 1 recognized in some sectors but not a guaranteed public holiday.

Taiwan May 1 is observed by some unions but not a nationwide public holiday.

Afghanistan Political and security factors; no consistent national observance.

Nepal May 1 recognized but not always a full public holiday.

South Sudan National holiday calendar does not include Labour Day.

Eritrea Other national days take precedence; no formal Labour Day.

Greenland Follows Denmark’s holiday calendar, which does not include Labour Day.

Select small island nations Holiday calendars focus on independence or religious dates.
