Thank you to everyone who aided and participated in Arts and Sciences with Spring Emergence. An extra special shoutout to my teachers: Yrsa Snaebjornsdottir, Kang Xiao Zi, Margerie de Kaer yn Arvon, Julianna, and Li Cheng; Because of them we were able to host ten classes throughout the event.
In addition we hosted the Emergence Arts and Sciences display. There were 8 participants that had wonderful work to share with us. I lucked out and had the Kingdom Arts and Sciences champion available as a guest judge to help choose our four champions: For “New and Emerging Work” - Rafton Barlowe, for “Spring Relevance” - Kang Xiao Zi, for “Populace Choice” - Alyanna de la Vega, and for “Best in Show” - Li Cheng. Good work champions!
Finally, wind blown and ragged we were in desperate need of a bardic particularly the Calling in the Summer bardic! It was a delight to see flowers flying at the end of each performance in spite of the wind. Thanks to our populace our bards were able to shine with a bouquet each. Of ~10 participants we had 3 champions: Populace choice and Champion of Winter - Sven Brazhnikov, Champion of Summer - Isabel of Cote du Ciel, and Champion of Summer - Ellen.
I’ll be up to bat to coordinate A&S opportunities at Uprising, so keep an ear to the ground, time is coming fast!
