Cairnfang Manor will host its annual art show in Ivastaen (May), this year, and we are aiming for the first weekend, barring any major scheduling conflicts. More details will come as they are set, but for the month of Charlatos (March), we are collecting entries.

The Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit is looking for physical pieces of art to display. Paintings, drawings, sculptures, and any other physical artwork are acceptable (Poetry, writing, performances, etc should be saved for the various performance-base contests). The pieces submitted will be judged upon their subject matter, creativity, and overall presentation- so choose something you are passionate about, and show Elanthia your creativity.

All artwork should be submitted in a manner that follows standard item guidelines: 15/15/15 to describe the piece (i.e. a carved linden-framed painting), with the artwork being displayed taking up no more than 512 characters, including spaces and punctuation. This will ensure all items follow a standard pattern and make for ease in displaying them. Entries need to be appropriate for an all-ages audience.

Any artwork that does not follow these rules will not be displayed.

Submission Example:

a linden-framed portrait

Perfectly shaped linden blossoms have been etched into a light-toned frame surrounding a simple group portrait. A small scene of a group of adventures standing by a linden tree has been lovingly rendered in charcoal on smooth paper. The design of the sketch is rather crude and rough by most standards. However, certain details of the group are meticulously rendered. It is clear that they are of different races, ages, and come from many walks of life.

All pieces of Art should be submitted to cairnfangmanor@gmail.com by no later than the 31st of March. When submitting your piece, please make sure the subject reads as Art Exhibit, that you list the name of the artist submitting the piece, and the title of the piece. Multiple submissions by a single artist are not permissible.

The Art Exhibit will conclude with the declaration of Best In Show. More details on this to come.

If there are questions about the Exhibit, please feel free to send an email to cairnfangmanor@gmail.com
