Arts and Sciences
Welcome to the Kingdom of the West Arts & Sciences website.
As Ministers, we are here to encourage and support all activities in pursuit of Medieval and Renaissance Arts & Sciences. Everyone is welcome to enjoy all aspects of these endeavors and is highly encouraged to become involved -- learn something new, teach something you love, hone your skills.
The Arts & Sciences Ministers will hold competitions, host classes, and reach out to local groups and guilds to encourage all skills.
Please share with us your stories, ideas, methods and we will post them here as inspiration.
Yours in Service,
Eliana Frasier, Arts Minister
Godrich von Appenzell, Sciences Minister
Veronica da Lugano, Deputy Arts Minister
