The LEA Land Grant program takes grant applications again

It is that time again. LEA takes grant applications until February 19th, 2013.

Sim handover and public announcement will be March 8th, 2013. Round will end on July 31st, 2013.

 

"The LEA Land Grant program seeks to promote and nurture the arts in Second Life, through a five-month land grant to recipients. Recipients can be individuals or groups interested in creating or curating art, or proposing cultural projects which would require/utilise a full-sim build and can be completed within the allotted time frame. The LEA is able to offer land grants through the generosity of Linden Lab."

Drawing inspiration

Cica Ghost's Black and White World at LEA 13 is a fantastic experience. Cica says in the description of her installation, in the LEA blog, that her idea for this project came from an imaginary world she has in her mind. I love the storybooklike feel of her work. The drawings move around and the world is full of fun little details.

I was going to take pictures of the sim itself only, at first, but the whole experience is somehow made even better by the visitors moving around and interacting inside the fantasy world. It is a great place to spend time alone or with friends, and to let your mind wander. I feel like writing poems or painting after a moment there.
