The Minister of Arts and Sciences (or MoAS) is responsible for promoting and nurturing the research, study, and practice of period-style arts and sciences. The arts and sciences include creating items (calligraphy, needlepoint, soap-making, leatherworking, armorcrafting, etc.) as well as performance art (singing, dancing, theater, etc.).
Twice a year Oldenfeld hosts local competitions run by the MoAS that are open to anyone who would like to enter.
The MoAS is a warranted officer. This means that they must be approved by a kingdom (state) -level officer of the same type. In this case, the MoAS of Oldenfeld must be approved by the Trimaris Minister of Arts and Sciences.
Here in the Barony of Oldenfeld our MoAS is Baroness Genevieve de Mullet Trois, who can be contacted by email at moas
