[Artemisia] Arts & Science Display - A thought

[LadyPDC at aol.com]

Just a thought concerning the upcoming Arts & Sciences  Display.
 
As mentioned earlier and by others, one of the most beautiful forms  of the 
Arts in our kingdom is traditionally viewed quickly in the middle of a  court 
and then given to some one else. It often ends up on a wall of some ones  home 
where it can inspire and be admired by a few.  And it sometimes ends  up in a 
folder waiting for a proper display.  But it never gets viewed  again.  I 
speak, of course, of the many and different scrolls  created  by our marvelous 
scribes and awarded throughout the year.
 
I know that I have several scrolls that would deserve a second look  by the 
members of the kingdom, not because I am proud of the reason for the  awarding 
(though I am) but because they are unique and beautiful in their own  right.
 
So, the thought.  Since this is a display and not a  competition as such, 
would it not be interesting to invite those attending to  bring with them the 
favorite scroll that they have received.  These  could be displayed in a separate 
area and people could see both the beauty and  the diversity of the skills of 
our kingdom scribes.  In addition, having  people bring their choice for the 
favorite scroll they have received would help  the kingdom scribes to know 
what types of scrolls, hands, decor, etc the members  of the kingdom prefer.  It 
could be helpful and educational on all  sides.
 
Anyway, it was a thought that has been rolling about my head so I  thought I 
would toss it out and see what others think about  it.
