This is a Level 1: Other (Branch primary events of regional or Kingdom interest) event.

The Barony of Madrone is excited to welcome the Artisans of An Tir to gather and share their arts works.

Athenaeum is a non-competitive Body of Work event. Exhibitors have the opportunity to display the depth and breadth of their artistic work and receive feedback from Laurels, other artisans, and members of the general populace. Our hope is to provide a relaxed, supportive, and inspiring environment where artisans who work in diverse mediums can gather and geek out together.

UPDATE 5-12-25 – We still have exhibitor space available! Any applications submitted at this point will be granted display space on a first come first served basis.

If you would like to submit an application please follow this link – Athenaeum 2025 Exhibitor Application.

Athenaeum isn’t only for those that want to display. If you are a fan of the arts we encourage you to attend and see all of the wonderful projects happening throughout An Tir and engage with the artists. The pre-registration form is available here – Athenaeum 2025 Pre-Registration.

If you have any questions please contact the event steward.
