The creative minds behind the magic.
Meet the Owners of Home of the Prodigies
Mina Minnelli & Arcturus Miles
Home of the Prodigies is the creation of two people whose talents, visions, and passions blend into a single shared world.
Mina Minnelli, sim designer, artist and creator of the UNICAT art concept, brings the heart and imagination of the sim to life. Her vision for a SL world shaped by art, beauty, emotion, and meaningful connection is the foundation upon which everything stands. Through her UNICAT paintings, her musical creations, and her artistic direction, Mina defines the soul of the Prodigies experience.
Arcturus Miles, SL master builder, rock DJ, and architect of the sim's iconic venues, gives structure, rhythm, and atmosphere to Mina's vision. His talent for building, event creation, and musical energy transforms ideas into immersive experiences. The castle, gallery architecture, temples, clubs, and party areas all carry his signature craft and attention to detail.
Together, as co-owners of Home of the Prodigies, Mina and Arcturus have built a world where art inspires, music connects, friendships flourish, and community feels like home.
A Sim with Vision and Soul
A vision by Mina Minnelli, refined and rebuilt with Arcturus Miles
The story of Home of the Prodigies began almost two years ago, when I returned to Second Life after more than ten years away. I came back with one clear vision: to create a home for the SL Prodigies, a community connected by art, music, fun, and friendship.
I envisioned a city where people could live, explore, dance, attend concerts, discover beautiful locations with friends or loved ones, and simply enjoy meaningful moments together. A place where beauty, emotion, and connection were woven into everyday life.
During the first year, the sim grew and transformed. I shaped its atmosphere through color, emotion, and the beginnings of my artistic work. Yet it was only about four months ago, when I met Arcturus Miles, that the sim truly became what I had imagined. With his experience as a live DJ, club manager, and exceptionally skilled builder, Arcturus helped rebuild the sim with architectural harmony and technical excellence. Where I brought vision, artistry, and emotional storytelling, he brought structure, design, and the rhythm of events. Together, we rebuilt Home of the Prodigies upon its ancient virtual walls and shaped it into a cohesive, immersive world.
Landmarks of Home of the Prodigies
The Transylvanian Castle
A tribute to Mina's Romanian heritage, dramatic in its presence and historically inspired. It serves as the home of many themed events.
Prodigies Art Gallery
Built around the ancient ruins of the sim to honor my UNICAT collection, each painting a true original. In Romanian, "unicat" means "one-of-a-kind."
Agora Temple Stage
Inspired by the ancient Agora as a place of gathering. Here, we host concerts, storytelling events, and tribute shows that bring the community together.
Temple Beach Club
A vibrant seaside venue designed for music, celebration, and the joy of movement.
Boat Party Area
A waterside setting for sunset parties, lively gatherings, and social connection.
Residential Beach Villas
Private and secure homes placed on individual beach lands for those who wish to live within the sim.
Riding Horses Forest
A natural retreat for exploring and unwinding. Hidden within this area, inside the UNICAT Owners Club grounds, is a secluded meditation space.
Creative Forest
A gathering point for artists and creators who wish to exchange ideas, collaborate, or simply be inspired.
UNICAT Owners Club
An elegant lounge and outdoor area dedicated to collectors and friends of the Prodigies Art Gallery. It serves as a refined social space for gatherings and private events.
While Arcturus designed and built the primary structures, the castle, the gallery architecture, the temple, clubs, and venues, I developed the artistic soul of the sim through the UNICAT gallery, the music I compose, and the aesthetic direction that defines our identity.
Together, we built Home of the Prodigies upon four essential principles:
Art. Music. Friendship. Community.
Home of the Prodigies is more than a sim. It is a world shaped from imagination, refined through partnership, and created to bring people together. It offers space to explore, to celebrate, to connect, to live beautifully, and to feel part of something meaningful.
Welcome to Home of the Prodigies, a world built with intention and love, and shared with all who enter.
