*****************************************************************************

The LEA is pleased to announce the eighth round of Artists-in-Residence, who will receive a full sim     for six months on which to create and display their proposed projects:   Mario2 Helstein                                   Whiskey Monday                                                                     Searby                                                  Misprint Thursday                               Haveit Neox                             Lorin Tone                               FreeWee Ling                                      Solkide Auer                            Mistero Hifeng                                    Art Blue                                                Giovanna Cerise                                  frankx lefavre                                      NaTaS Janus                            Sniper Siemens                                    Asmita Duranjaya, Sable (snakeappletree)   Lemonodo Oh                                      mediciprincess                                      Gracie Kendal                                      Krystali Rabeni                                    Mary Wickentower

The LEA received 40+ high-quality applications, and it was a difficult decision, but those selected submitted outstanding proposals that represent a diverse range of virtual art. While a handful are artists returning for a second round, the majority will be exhibiting at the LEA for the first time. Projects range from full-sim immersions, to innovative builds geared specifically for multimedia works such as sound and machinima projects.

Artists will have up to four months to build their projects (though many have suggested they will be completed sooner), with all exhibits set to be open by end of April. Many will likely open sooner, though, so keep an eye on this blog for announcements of exhibit openings and related special events.

The previous seven rounds of LEA Land Grant Artists-in-Residence have resulted in some truly exceptional works, and we anticipate this next group to be just as fantastic. Congratulations to all the artists, we can’t wait to see your vision!
