What is LEA ?

The Linden Endowment of the Arts is an official Linden Community Partnership program whose purpose is to help new artists, cultivate art in SL, and foster creativity, innovation, and collaboration within the art community.

The Linden Endowment for the Arts not only provides grants of land to artists-in-residence, it also helps to promote the artists and their works through this festival, articles, interviews, social media and other avenues. For many artists, this festival is the culmination of 5 months of hard work and inspiration, and so the time has to fully celebrate and share these works. Please share your LEA Arts Festival related photography on our LEA Arts Festival flickr group, and on your Google + or Facebook. We’re looking forward to seeing you at the LEA!

LEA Art Festival 2013 Includes

• Machinima Screenings
• 20 Sims of Art Installations
• Performances
• Talks
• Artist Interviews/Tours
• And more!
