LEA - Round 11 AiR Land Grant Artists

LEA22 Funky Junk by Carmsie Melodie

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

The LEA is pleased to announce the eleventh round of Artists-in-Residence, who will receive a full  sim for six months on which to create and display their proposed projects:                       Lemonodo Oh           Krystali Rabeni           Subversive Vavoom           Tahiti Rae           Storm Septimus           Giovanna Cerise           Marcus Parrott           Lorin Tone           Art Blue           Mac Kanashimi           Ceakay Ballyhoo           Aquaglo           Dame Roxan           Levi Ewing           Diiar Resident           Mahnong Guardian           Michael Wexhome           Bufera Resident           Fennet           Medora Chevalier

The LEA received 35+ 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, with all exhibits set to be open by end of October. Many will likely open sooner, though, so keep an eye on this blog for announcements of exhibit openings and related special events.

The previous ten 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!
