A few months back Linden Lab announced the LEA, a new initiative focusing on cultivating and partnering with art and artists within Second Life.
In that post we gave you a very broad vision of what we were hoping for, in addition to the opportunity to apply or nominate yourself or members of the community to sit on a committee that would help drive this initiative forward.
Now that we've had a few months to form a committee and start discussing our goals for the program, I thought it was time to give a bit of an update.
If you would like to see who has been selected to sit on the committee, and read a bit about their contributions to the SL community, please click here.
So what can you expect from Linden Lab and the LEA Committee going forward?
Our high-level goals for the LEA program are as follows:
Provide a starting point for artists in Second Life and for those interested in art to make connections and display their work
Encourage and cultivate art and artists within Second Life
Foster community, creativity, and innovation among artists and all residents interested in art.
Provide a way for artists to not only sell and promote their art but also to choose to donate it for linden preservation (optional)
Collaborate with existing art regions, galleries, exhibits and performance spaces to help nuture their valuable participation in SL arts
One of the main points we want to really drive home, is that we plan on working collaboratively with existing art communities, as well as creating a space for people to learn more about the art scene and get started themselves in SL.
Our first big project is to plan and host bi-annual art shows that people can apply to be involved in. These shows will allow artists to display, sell and also if desired allow for Linden to preserve a copy of the work for historical purposes (Completely optional).
Our vision for the future however includes more than just these shows, we're envisioning a calendar year packed with fun art based events. Art education fairs, sidewalk style art sales, live performance, gallery shows, etc.... These are all possibilities for how to use the land we will be providing. We still have a lot of planning to do before we can implement any of this, and we are still in the brainstorming phase on many of these goals, but we (myself and the committee) are all optimistic and hopeful for what can be accomplished.
As for the land we are providing for these events, we will start out with a central hub as the landing spot, with another larger island, consisting of 4 or 5 regions to start with that are dedicated to displaying artwork and performances. We have designed the space to be scaleable, so as events and participation in them grows, we can easily add more regions.
As more details develop, we will post updates. We are also looking to the community for ideas and feedback on ways to incorporate existing art groups, as well as fun events you would like to see come of this program! We want this to be a collaborative effort so feedback is encouraged!
Thanks for reading everyone!
