While I'm no expert, I have participated in a Midrealm Tournament of Arts on two separate occasions and observed several other times. The first time I brough my research paper The Evil Eye (Ayin Ha'Ra) in Medieval Judaism and most recently (Fall 2024), my Decorated Veils. I think I have a fairly decent of understanding of what they are and what they intend and would like to share that here to help promote participation in these incredible events.
The Midrealm Tournament of Art is an opportunity for artisans to meet with members of the Order of the Laurel (artisans recognized as experts in some area of Arts and Sciences) to exchange ideas and information in person.
It is an excellent opportunity to share, ask questions, plan next steps, or just enjoy a conversation.
It is also a great way to see what people are working on; so even if you are not participating, come see what others are doing. You might get inspired!
