I had no idea that LEA is not part of the actual Linden Staff and is actually run by some hard working Art lovers of SL as The Linden Endowment For The Arts Committee. They are stepping down so LL can revamp it or do something new? I just can’t believe it is closing. I got this information from the Facebook Group – Linden Endowment For The Arts FB Group. Here is the Post by Joanna Balogh.
I am still looking for concrete info by Linden Lab in forums or on the Second Life Website with no avail. When I get it I will add it to this blog. I have enjoyed the LEA sims for years as the blogger for all of the lovely builds by Tahiti Rae such as Love Henry, Evre, The Gates of Oria, and The White Cliffs of Dover. Use the search field on my blog to find all of those posts. I truly hope and pray that LEA will come back or come back as something else since I know the Linden Lab staff LOVE the Art Community in Second Life.

Ouch, what a sad development Amamda Magick reports about. The LEA sims will be closed by the end of August??? That’s really bad , as those sims were an easily accessible way to enjoy some art even for barbarians like Orca.
Read all about it in Amanda’s blog …

thank you for sharing this Orca. This is a majorly sad thing for Second Life to have happen.

Linden Lab has chosen to close the LEA sims instead of restaffing the committee and/or revamping the program. I am sorry SaveMe but it wasn’t you LOLOLOL…..

I also just received this notecard and it is sad. I had a show there last year, right before they began to “restructure”. I was not privy to the inner workings of the LEA committee, but I hope they will be able to start again sometime in the future. I do not, however have my fingers crossed.

Well from reading through the info a few times, it looks like they had enough time to do something and LL didn’t. I really hope now that the heat is on and closing is imminent that either something will happen or it will be restarted again soon when things are in order. But it is so much work that I think LEA committee people should be Lindens and paid as well. Lets see what happens in the future maybe I will stick I foot in there… who knows
