On May 30th at 9am, Standard Bearers will take place here at St John of the Cross. There is no site fee for this gathering. Barone Pietro and Baronessa Aurelia invite all to compete to become their final champions.
For the Arts and Sciences Championship display at Standard Bearers, Their Excellencies have requested competing artisans create displays that emphasize their body of work. Their Excellencies look forward to seeing a range of artisans demonstrating their depth and/or range of artistic skill, and hearing how artisans plan to contribute to the artistic community of the Barony, as well as encouraging and involving non-artisans to expand their range of expertise.
Artisan displays will be up for most of the day, with Their Excellencies speaking to each artisan and enjoying any performance entries in the afternoon. Each participating artisan will be allotted 1/2 of a rectangular folding table, approximately 2 1/2 ft x 3 ft. There is no height limit on displays beyond what safety and sanity will permit. For performing arts entries, please bring supplemental materials to display in this area.
To ensure adequate space, please contact Dame Elizabethe Alles (lady.elizabethe@gmail.com) if you intend to participate. If you have any questions, please contact Their Excellencies or Dame Elizabethe.
