LEA Closing

In November 2018, the LEA Committee decided that the best way forward was for the members to step down. Since then there was no re-organizing plan and LEA will be closed at the end of August 2019. There were 29 SIMs provided by Linden Laboratories as the endowment for the art, 20 SIMs for resident artist (AIR) and 9 SIMs as Core. The AIR SIMs had been granted to artists for six-month period free of charge, were closed in January 2019, and the Core 9 SIMs are in operation which will be closed this time.




This is an event hall left in the Core. The audience are set on four SIMs with more than 300 seats. The hall of University of Western Australia was using 3 SIMs with 200 capacity but it accepted only 100 avatars at one time. What is this huge seating area for? It looks like a giant hall in a rural city that was made just for form….

"Brutalism" by MysterLo. There might have been several problems in the LEA committee such as management, artist selection, or obligation as volunteers, but there could be some solutions. The biggest issue could be the reduced traffic. There might be discussion regarding what is an art, and to increase visitors may not be the purpose. But audience is one of the important factors also in RL arts.




“DRD EL Big Wheel” by Deathfowdesign. A Ferris wheel in the Core, which seems like the ruined one at a town close to Chernobyl. Don’t tell me that this is a symbol of the art exhibitions on the decline.

I will introduce some pictures of the arts still there in the following articles. There will not be an introduction of the art itself but my spontaneous SSs. Please accept my apology if the image is different from the original.
