The Grand Exhibition
Saturday drop-off 8:30am – 9:30am at the Barn; Voting opens at 10am
The Grand Exhibition is open to all A&S related objects, projects, or research, finished or in-progress. Artisans and scholars of all skill and experience levels are encouraged to participate.
Come one, come all and show your art! This year’s theme is all about heraldry and history! Have you made something involving heraldry in some way, yours, your household’s, group’s, or even the Kingdom’s? Is there something specific that interests you about your persona that you want to explore? How about a creation that celebrates some part of the history of your local group? Whatever it is, we want to see it!
There will be a populace vote on the displayed pieces, but no formal judging. This is a no-pressure Exhibition–we want to see your work!
There will be people keeping an eye on the displays. Volunteer sign-ups to come.
Please pick up your display by 3pm sharp so that the barn can be cleared for Court.
