Welcome to the Anchors Acreage Auction and Artisanals, also known as A5 or AAAAA if you prefer that!
What is the A5? It is a synergy of Artistry and other design skills, aimed to forge creative kinship and the exchange of inspiration across crafting disciplines.
To this end, we are pleased to announce the theme of our very first event in collaboration with the Asterian Restoration -- BYGONE BREWS!
Imagine a last cup served amongst leaders of the Sapient League during the Siege of Seleucar. Emmett Bowing in the foreground with his cup nearly forgotten as he tears his hair over blueprints, while others, trying to forget the stress of the prolonged siege, lose themselves in the entertainment of a rowdy stage play, spilling their own drinks and laughing raucously just moments before an inspirational firecracker goes off.
Your job is to create a unique beverage and vessel, and paint a scene featuring the beverage in a historical context. Think of it as advertising with a historical twist. Some artistic license is, of course, allowed. We highly encourage you to find a collaborator, but if you have all the requisite skills and wish to attempt this alone then by all means!
The painting, beverage, and vessel comprises one entry and will be auctioned off a single lot. PLUS! Visitors and friends will be welcome to place votes for their favourite so that you (and your partner) stand to win a GRAND GOLD PRIZE IN ADDITION to your auction earnings!
All entries will be displayed for one Achaean year at our gallery at the Acreage along with carts selling samples of your drinks to garner votes and interest for the auction!
There are NO SUBMISSION FEES, but a 20% cut will be deducted from the auction takings. This will be used to...
- Offset event running overheads
- Make up the winners prize from the vote (so the more people bid, the higher the prize becomes!)
- Donate to the Asterian Restoration as part of their fund-raising efforts
To prevent this announcement from getting too long, I shall list the rules and specific dates on the next post!
