Arts & Sciences
Competitions and Displays

Prepare for an epic wave of creativity as War of the Wings 300 presents its Arts and Sciences Competitions! Playing his legendary lyre, the Greek god Apollo leads the Muses, goddesses of creative inspiration, with his music and poetry. And let us not forget Athena, mighty goddess of weaving and embroidery, or Hephaestus, god of smiths, makers, and craftsmen.

Call upon the children of Zeus to inspire you as you bring their spirits to life through your artistry and scholarship. Join us to honor the innovations of antiquity – your masterpiece awaits!

An Open Display table will be available daily for artisans to display works that they do not wish to be entered into competition. Artisans: Please plan to pick up your work every evening at 4 pm.
