Introducing the LEA Land Grant
LEA Land Grant
The LEA committee is very excited to announce something that we have been working towards for quite a while now. Essentially we have convinced Linden Labs and their stockholders to give us 20 sims for a year in order to support the arts in Second Life. Below you will find the official announcement and application form to consider. Shortly we will create the online application form and you can start to fill it out if you are interested. The applications will be due by November 1st 2011. Check the Linden Endowment for the Arts blog for updates.
LEA Land Grant application:
The
Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA) has negotiated with Linden Labs to
make available twenty new regions for the arts in Second Life. Four regions will be reserved for exhibitions curated from LEA sandbox art, and two will be allocated through a land rush. Details will follow on those six regions. Fourteen will be allocated by application. These
regions will be awarded to selected artists for a period of five months.
After the completion of five months those regions will be transferred
to a new set of awardees. Recipients can be considered for a second
endowment of five months.
Choose a category you wish to apply for and write a 200 word description of what you plan to achieve over the endowment period. Include a curriculum vitae or resume, and/or ways to see previous work (links to images, YouTube, slurl, websites).
Art organizations, patrons, or curators applying for a region should be able to show an active record of supporting the arts within Second Life or experience in first life that can be translated to the virtual world.

Comments
It will be great to follow the happenings on LEA.
I have just one suggestion:
Let a pice of "land" and time stay open for afficionados for art that cannot present a heavy curriculum vitae from practicing or organizing art but has an exciting or in anyway interesting idea they want to do and exhibit.
That is a way to nourish new talents, to give them oppportunity for trial and error and for getting advice from you who are experianced.
Maybe you can even introduce a mentoring system for persons wanting to implement their ideas but has little or no earlier background in art.
Cheap Runescape Gold, find Nung and get 5 mudskipper skins (kill five mudskippers and get their hides.) Go back to Nung and then get three bronze wires, along with a needle. Once you get them, speak to him and acquire access. Then kill a crab. Grind your kelp, raw cod, and crab meat then go back to cook Buy Runescape Gold. Speak to him, use all the ingredients after which cook it. Bam, fishcake. Now use on pirate Pete.
