Applications are now open for round 8 of the Artists in Residence (AIR) programme operated by Linden Endowment for the Arts.

Twenty regions (LEA10 through LEA29), donated by Linden Lab and managed by the LEA, are offered under the AIR programme, and successful applicants will be given the use of one full region for a period of five months. The region may then be used on an individual or group basis for such diverse activities as:

Full sim exhibitions and / or immersive installations

Curated projects, especially those which have a connection to physical exhibitions and events (mixed reality).

Artists are asked to take no more than 3 months to execute their build, so that their installation is open to the public for at least the last 2 months of their grant. However, artists may also open their installation ahead of the three-month build deadline, and many artists in the past have used their land to have multiple exhibits.

The timeline for application as it currently stands is:

Application deadline: November 30th, 2014

Notification by: December 15th, 2014

Sim handover and public announcement: January 1st, 2015

End of round: June 30th, 2015.

The application form can be found at the end of the official announcement for AIR round 8. Those needing assistance in completing the form can refer to some guidelines provided by Honour McMillan.

Those wishing to available themselves of a smaller amount of space for art exhibits and projects can apply for space on an LEA core region. These grants run for approximately three months, with parcels / regions available on LEA1, LEA2, LEA4, LEA8 and LEA9.
