Arts & Sciences Displays

Master Hrodnavar will be coordinating artisan displays, so if you want to take advantage of this opportunity to see and be seen, contact him (on FaceBook: Steve Alter) or email the event at 12thnight2023@antir.org with Artisan Displays in the subject line.

  1. We have space for performers/bards as well as artisans and scientists. If you want to do a performance art of any type we can arrange a schedule so that everyone will have their time in the spotlight.
  2. For all displayers and performers, we can also organize time for you to talk to the public about your art. These can be informal chat/geek sessions, demonstrations, and/or classes. We will have a schedule so that people know when to find you at your display, and so we don’t have multiple people talking over each other.
  3. Let us know if you have special needs, either for accessibility or for utilities (like an electrical outlet).
  4. We will provide tables. You cover or decorate them as you choose. You can also bring your own infrastructure…whatever you need to display your art.

12th Night approaches and with it our An Tir Peers Auction.

UPDATE: The Deadline to contribute to the auction is now January 11th 2023.

Started in 2001 by the Knights of An Tir, the Kingdom of An Tir, through this auction alone, has raised
over $42,000 to donate to various Charities. (http://antir.sca.wiki/index.php?title=12th_Night_Peers_Auction)

This year, Their Most Noble Majesties Octamasades and Achaxe have determined that we should
work toward erasing hate and so have selected The Matthew Shepard Foundation. The Mathew
Shepard Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (tax ID 31-1640047) dedicated to inspire
individuals, organizations, and communities to embrace the dignity and equality of all people.
(https://www.matthewshepard.org/)

We hope that you will consider a donation of your time and skills for a worthy cause and help us
uphold this commendable tradition of giving from our great Kingdom.

All donations must be sponsored by a Peer. Royal Peers, Knights, Masters of Arms, Laurels,
Pelicans, and Members of the Order of Defense are all encouraged to sponsor a populace member’s
donation or to donate themselves.

Please use the following format when submitting your donations.

Please contact Shaykha Zahra bint al-Rammah at zahrabintalrammah(at)gmail(dot)com with

of the auction.

At the request of the auction staff: Items should be pre-registered for the auction by Friday
January 11th, 2023, so the staff will have time to pre-print item descriptions. Supplied photos of
completed or similar objects will be printed on the forms to aid in displaying items as well as being
posted in advance so people can plan their auction budgets!

Any unsold items will be donated to the Kingdom largess.

U of O manuscript library field trip.
In conjunction with 12th Night 2023, the Barony of Adiantum has arranged a visit to view the Burgess Collection of Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts at the University of Oregon Knight Library (Eugene, Oregon) on Friday, January 13, 2:30-4 pm.

The classroom can accommodate up to 12 people, so please sign up so that we know how many to expect. We will be arranging carpooling from the 12th Night hotel (Valley River Inn) to the UO as campus parking is limited.

To reserve a spot, please email the event, 12thnight2023@antir.org and put “UO Mss” in the subject line. Give us you SCA and modern names, email, phone number, and the best way to contact you.
Magistra Raven Qara ton, who has helped to catalog the collection, will select a range of manuscripts to view, but if you would like to request a specific manuscript, please message her on Facebook at Erika Milo.

This is the same venue that we visited at 12th Night 2015 and 2020, but there will be a different selection of manuscripts for your viewing pleasure.

You can read about the Burgess Collection here:

And this is the on line catalog. If you see a manuscript you would like to view, let Magistra Raven know:
Enter the Table Decorating Contest at 12th Night!
Design an Italian Renaissance table decoration to enhance the ambiance of the Italian Ball!
Win a set of antique Venetian glass goblets with sterling silver trim and the applause of the Kingdom! 
Install your Renaissance table top decoration just before the Ball opens. The tables are 60” in diameter and seat 8. The hotel will provide a black tablecloth which you can use or remove. The hotel doesn’t allow us to bring food into the hotel to feed people, but food decoration, like sugar sculptures or a still life, are okay!
Our judges will circulate during the early part of the evening and announce the winner and present the prize part way through the Ball. Light documentation is encouraged – a painting or passage of writing that inspired you, perhaps?
You and your party should reserve a table if you are entering the Tablescape Contest OR if you want a place for your group to sit together.
A table seats 8, and you can reserve more than one table. There will be tables aplenty and space for everyone to relax and enjoy the evening, which is currently scheduled to kick off circa 8 PM.
To reserve a table  or to enter the Table Decoration Contest, email 12thnight2023@antir.org with Tablescape in the subject line.  Include your SCA and modern names and whether you are entering the contest or just reserving a table with friends, or are doing both.
Hotel rules: No live flame and no serving of food not provided by the hotel.
We will place name cards on the reserved tables. Set up of the contest entries will be just after dinner (dinner buffet begins at 6 PM) and before the Commedia dell’ Arte performance starts (currently scheduled to begin soon after 8 PM). During the dinner hours (6 to 8 PM) the hotel staff need to reset the room from Court seating to Ball mode.
While you can’t bring your own food to your table at the ball, you will be able to bring food purchased from the hotel. The dinner buffet will have To Go containers available, and you can bring that with you to the Ballroom (which will be closed until 8 PM to reset the room).

and not musty, please!

Look for the library in the main lobby of the hotel, most likely opposite the hotel’s main desk.

To learn more about Little Free Libraries, see their website: https://littlefreelibrary.org

The Labyrinth at 12th Night

The labyrinth will be available for walking on Friday and Saturday evenings in the Rogue
room overlooking the river.
If you would like to reserve it for a half hour to an hour, especially for a vigil, please
contact Mistress Yseult at pam@bobwhitman.com.

The labyrinth, almost 24 feet in diameter, is essentially the center five circuits of the
great Chartres labyrinth, which is just over 42’ in diameter. The Chartres labyrinth was laid
on the floor of the cathedral nave c1200-1220 AD.
A mirror image of this smaller pattern was laid on the floor of the north porch of the Church of Notre Dame in Guingamp, Brittany, France, about 1850.
As you walk this pattern, you can use it as a religious meditation, as it was used in the
Middle Ages. Or you can look outward at the river, another metaphor for our life, or inward
at your own life and the patterns it has made. Or you can simply walk the pattern and see
where it takes you.
No Food, No Drink, No Shoes, please.
The labyrinth was drawn and painted by Yseult of Broceliande with the help of Marian
Staarveld. For information on how to draw this labyrinth pattern, visit
www.angelfire.com/my/zelime/labyrinthshowtodraw.html

Youth and Family Activities

Ask at the Gate/Information table in the main lobby for “Getting Lost in the Decorations”, a scavenger hunt type activity based on the figures in the faux stained glass windows. Fun for everyone, not just kids!

Volunteer Information

We will need a few strong people to move the thrones of An Tir from the Willamette Ballroom to the Columbia Ballroom after the Fete on Saturday evening. Show up where the thrones are if you can help.

Classes Offered

We have two classes being offered at 12th Night.
No pre-reg needed – just show up!
The Culture of Roman Baths by Magistrae Julia Sempronia and Pompeia Rufina,
5-6:30 pm, Friday, in the Mediterranean Baths (you can bathe during the class!)
This class will look at how the Roman Bath formed an integral part of Roman culture and its interplay with social status and the system of patronage. We will touch on the social life of the Roman baths by looking into the activities that took place there as well as the types of foods and drinks available to those attending the baths.
Intro to the Renaissance Lute by Gareth Hyre
10-11 am Sunday, Siuslaw Room
No instrument or experience needed. I will have four lutes for the class to use as I teach the basics of holding and playing the lute and reading lute tablature. If you have a guitar (with a capo) or lute to bring, you’re welcome to do so as that will allow more people to participate at once.
