The world's first fully immersive 3D interactive community was a multinational collaboration between 62 designers, writers, and producers - all in support of a diverse array of curated creative individuals and organizations. Launched in 1994, City Arts Project was founded by Nicholas de Wolff, and became the 501c3 Not-for-Profit umbrella to such powerful productions as the Los Angeles Performing Arts Festival, and the first online searchable repository of the complete canon of Shakespeare's Plays and Sonnets.
