The Laurels of AnTir in
partnership with Their Excellencies of Madrone and The Ministry of
Arts andSciences invite artisans of all skill levels to journey to
Athenaeum, in The Barony of Madrone, to showcase your artistic
skills to all the Realm!
YOU spoke; WE
listened
This is a
non-competitive Body of Work event, and it is your chance to
display the breadth of your artistic abilities and receive valuable
feedback and commentary from the Laurels of AnTir and other
artisans in a relaxed, collaborative, and engaging
environment.
This event is also open
to those who do not want to display. If you just want to come
peruse the largest arts and sciences display in the kingdom and
interact with the artisans- this event is for you too!!! All are
welcome!!
Specifics:
Body of work display:
Artisans can choose to have a full table (8ft) or half-table
(4ft)to display on. They bring everything they want to show
off/receive feedback on and display it in their allotted space in a
pleasing manner. There is no limit to what you can display, and
documentation is not required. If you have documentation that you
wish to put out, it is sometimes helpful; however, the focus is on
conversation.
Artisans register in
advance for how much room they need for their respective
displays.

How it
Works
Once the event starts,
Artisans sit at their tables and Laurels and non-entrants start to
circulate. Typically Laurels will approach the people on their
dance card first.
Each laurel typically
spends a minimum of 30-45 minutes with each artisan on their dance
card (usually 2-3 artists)talking about their work. They are not
judging, assigning scores, or providing structured critique guided
by a form. It is a very informal conversation between artists about
the work on display. Often artisans might have some
works-in-progress that would like feedback on, recently completed
projects, learning new skills, or a desire to showcase the breadth
of their skills.
Once Laurels have
completed their dance card, they are free to roam around and meet
with as many artists as they want. Laurels are encouraged to hand
out largess for displays that have impressed them, or circle back
to displays that they saw earlier but didn't have a chance to
visit. It is all very casual with a bit of structure to keep the
event moving.
Every hour a color is
announced and artists that have been assigned that color are
allowed to get up and roam around and visit with other artisans
about their work. At a minimum that is two hours of face time with
other artisans.
Artisans should have
some kind of notebook to capture feedback, insights, and
conversations.

Note that the above Weather and Map information is generated from the site address and can be easily confused. The weather will say if its for the branch or for the site. It will be for the site if the site can be found, but this again is not always the case, and if the site is some distance from the branch then the weather may be different.
