LEA Artist in Residence Sims Granted Additional Month

The current round of Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA) Artist in Residence (AiR) sims were scheduled to close today, June 30, but have been given an additional month of life before they're turned over for new artistic projects, so if you haven't explored them yet you'll now have until the end of July. A starting point for your exploration might be LEA3, which has been transformed into the LEA Welcome Area, and at which you can find teleport links to some — but inexplicably not all — of the LEA AiR sims, in addition to other information and various artworks on display. The twenty sims that have received the extension feature:

• "Moving Islands" [Rafts], curated by Eupalinos Ugajin and featuring the works of many artists (about which I've written here — this exhibition has already been extended)
• Ascension by Tansee
• Timewalkers by Solkide Auer
• Insidious; The Spread of Ideas by Frankx Lefavre
• Sauce and Celebrity Blow Your Tits Off by Maya Paris (about which I've written here and here)
• The Philosopher's Stone by Pixels Sideways and Georg Janick, featuring works by sixteen artists (about which I've written here)
• The {Lost} Garden Of Sundarya Lahari by Xineohp Guisse (about which I've written here)
• Transit't - Imago Anatopism by Alpha Auer in collaboration with Mimesis Monday (about which I've written here)
• Hyakki Yagyou - Chaotic Parade, curated by Yooma Mayo and featuring collaborative works by many artists (about which I've written here)
• The [Void] by Storm Septimus (about which I've written here)
• Dragon Curves by Mac Kanashimi (about which I've written here)
• Creature from the Black Lagoon by Livio Oak Korobase (about which I've written here)
• LEA12 (untitled) by theoxyz (tomm Pye) featuring a installation inspired by Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights
• The Romeo + Juliet Experience by Basilique Performing Arts Company — nothing to see here at the moment, but perhaps they'll stage additional performances — watch for announcements here)
• Ghosts of the Internet by Glyph Graves (about which I've written here)
• No Mods No Masters, a collaborative build
• Invasion: a Tribute to Greenies Home by Sniper Siemens (about which I've written here — for some reason this installation closed on June 22)
• LEA24 (untitled) by Lorin Tone and other collaborators
• The Art of SodaGnome Machinima by SodaGnome (nothing to see here — a production sim)
• Heartseed "pure" by Jedda Zenovka (an earlier incarnation of which I described here)

(In some cases, the extra month is especially welcome, since it was never announced that certain sims were in fact "open" to begin with.) Artists interested in applying for sims for the next round of AiR grants, starting August 1, have until midnight tonight (slt time) to meet the deadline.
