18th of May - 11 am SLT - RASMUSON AWARD (Live simulcast)  - Mark your calendar for this

The Rasmuson Foundation will award 30 artists either Project Awards or Artist Fellowship grants during this live simulcast. Following the event, a new Alaskan art exhibit will be unveiled.

Some Background of the Rasmuson Foundation

The Rasmuson Foundation was created under a declaration of trust in May of 1955 by Jenny Rasmuson to honor her late husband, "E.A." Rasmuson.

E.A. Rasmuson immigrated to the United States from Sweden and eventually found himself in Yakutat working as a missionary of the Swedish Covenant Church. It was there that he met and married Jenny Olson, a Christian education worker who had been with the mission for more than a year. While in Yakutat, E.A. studied law through a correspondence course, eventually passing the bar examination for the Territory. The Rasmuson family moved to Skagway when E.A. became U.S. Commissioner for that city.

E.A. Rasmuson assumed leadership of the Bank of Alaska in 1918 in the midst of the financial disruption caused by World War I. Although he had no banking experience, he accepted the challenge of reviving a bank in serious financial trouble. E.A. never lost his faith in the Bank of Alaska, or the territory it served. Jenny Rasmuson served on the board of directors of the growing bank and shared her husband's dreams for Alaska. Together, they tirelessly promoted the growth of the Territory and the development of its rich natural resource potential.

E.A. Rasmuson died in 1949 and left the bank to his son, Elmer. Elmer was involved in the Foundation from its modest beginnings (the first Foundation grant was $125) and became the driving force behind its growth. When Elmer died in December 2000 at age 91, he left his personal fortune of more than $400 million to charity, much of it to the family foundation.

Elmer's vision for the Foundation was to support projects of lasting impact for the public benefit of all Alaskans. Today, Elmer's three children, Edward, Lile and Judy, his widow Mary Louise, daughter-in-law Cathryn, and grandchildren Adam Gibbons and Natasha von Imhof serve on the Foundation's 12-member board of directors and carry on his legacy.

To all our moms

Moms are  there at the beginning
When the world was new to us -

She was there to turn to happy times
Those when, you were hurt or blue.

Mom's  listen to your thoughts
And when you ask, to give advice

Moms are  there at the beginning
She'll be there in our mind and heart
our whole life through

Mom Vol.1

One of the awesome ,simple and inexpensive ways to capture videos within 3D virtualworlds environments are so called Machinimas

Per Wikipedia Definition

Machinima            is the use of real-time 3D computer graphics rendering engines to create a cinematic production. Most often, video games are used to generate the computer animation. Machinima-based artists, sometimes called machinimists or machinimators, are often fan laborers, by virtue of their re-use of copyrighted materials

(Machinima by NITWACKET MACHINIMA®)

A year ago Linden Lab had announced the so called  LEA (Linden Endowment for the Arts)  Programme which is kicking  off this month of May 2011

you can find more Info details about the entry requirement  here

Good luck everyone!!

Best way to keep up with your favourite musican is to join their fan groups

The song "TWO AM" is by Grace McDunnough, Machinima by Chantal Harvey, made at Bryn Oh's Standby installation at IBM sims in SL.

One of the fascination in the virtual world is the awesome stunning architecture of  Steampunk  which can be found in  different variations over the grids

Some buildings are  more 19th century  Victorian and some are more technical geared steampunk vehicle, mechanical, dirty, dystopian and yet inspires hope of human spirit.

:-Joshua A. Pfeiffer  interpreted Steampunk in this way

Steampunk simply embodies a time and a place. The time... the late 19th century. The place... a steam powered world, where air travel by fantastical dirigibles is as common as traveling by train or boat (or submarine). A place where national interests are vastly different than our own version of history. A place where the elegant and refined are as likely to get pulled into a grand adventure, as the workers, ruffians, and lower classes. A place where the idea of space travel is not so far fetched. A place where lost civilizations are found and lost again. A place where anything is possible, and science can be twisted to meet ones own ends. That to me is the essence of Steampunk. It can have political overtones and commentary, or it can be straight escapist fiction. Either way, if it meets these criteria. It is Steampunk.

 If you would like to explore more of this cultural architecture

Take one of the Steampunk Tours we guide
