What better way to showcase the work of over 30 artists, performers, and machinimatographers, than with a month long celebration? The LEA Arts Festival features twenty sims of art installations, machinima screenings, artist talks, interviews, performances, classes and more! Opening day is Feb 2nd with a schedule of great events, listed below.
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!

Prim Perfect’s own PJ Trenton made a set of gorgeous posters for the Artists-in-Residence; you can see them all at his flickr and, from the festival opening tomorrow, the entire set will be available for free at the main LEA Landing point! Nothing like lovely exhibition posters to add cultured touches to your virtual home!
