Second Life Endowment for the Arts (SLEA) is now open

 LEA is gone, SLEA is here. This huge project is a joint resident/Linden Lab endeavor. Like LEA, it is intended to provide support for virtual artists and a space for them to display their art.

SLEA is in partnership with Linden Labs, who generously provided grid space.The Central Hub, SLEA7, is a region containing a place where you can pick up a hud that will take you to the Art Regions surrounding SLEA7, and teleports to take you to other works.



The hud can be picked up at the area in the light blue circle. Don't just teleport to the middle of the region because you will end up in the water.

You will have to use the hud to get to the "Art Regions" surrounding SLEA7, and there are teleports to the local displays. You can walk from SLEA7 to The Bridge Project.

Hand Sculpture. 

To give you an idea of the scale of the sculpture, 
here is my avatar hovering over the thumb.

Art Regions currently open as of January 15, 2021.

SLEA1 (Viktor Savior) - Is in the theme "Winter Slavik Rebirth" - a snowy winter landscape surrounds structures housing galleries. The landscaping includes an ice-skating rink.

SLEA2 (Vaneeeesa Blaylock) has created a "Flash Fiction Island" you will have to reach by boat(provided). There are many different artists here and there will be 'flash fiction' contests based on the artists' works.

"Miss Monica Smith" display. For more information
see Vaneeesa Blaylock's blog on the right. 


SLEA3 (Melodie Heart & Barry Richez) presents a serious/playful landscape whose message is about recycling and saving the earth. The surface area has animated paper sculptures, but there is a teleport to a spacestation and organic garden.

There are other regions, not yet ready. 

The regional displays will change over time in increments of weeks or months. I do not know how long the art nearer the hub will be there.
