          The goal of the Orenian Artists’ Society, or the OAS for short, is to further advance and cultivate the arts within the Orenian nation. Artists of all types, cultures, and walks of life will be welcomed into the Society with open arms. The OAS seeks to both teach new artists and showcase current artists to promote both their personal works and art in general. Everything from classical painters, sculptors, to musicians, singers, tailors, and much more are to be accepted into the OAS, as well as those who are simply interested in supporting and appreciating the arts.

 

Location

          The OAS shall aim to keep two establishments within the Orenian capital. The first of which shall be a public workshop dedicated to giving artists of all kinds a space to create, free of charge, within the capital city. The second shall be a gallery showroom in which the OAS may exhibit the works of it’s artists for all to see. Both locations shall be funded in part or in full by the members of the Society. Additional locations in other cities are subject to the funding and availability of members.

 

On Galleries and Showcases
          It is in the interest of the Society to frequently host gallery shows, as well as showcases of it’s member’s works, for public viewing in order to promote both the arts, and the individual artist. Members of the OAS are invited to sign up for individual gallery shows, as well as group shows. Additionally, other like minded events will be held in order to benefit the OAS and it’s members.

Master of Craft

Journeyman

Apprentice
The rank denoting a member is in the process of learning their craft. They may be assigned a teacher or tutor if one is available to help them, and they will have full access to the Society workshop. Their ranking may increase at the behest of a Master or one of the ranking members of the Society.

 

Recruit
A new member and aspiring artist, this rank is for those who have not yet chosen their artistic path, or for those new members who’s skill level has not yet been determined.
 

 

 

[Zarsies 6795]

One clay-dirtied woman pores over the order's missive with particular enthrallment, her amused smile leading to a heinous, coarse witch cackle. She therein sets to work on a frightful and striking painting half sketched in charcoal laid with prelusive layers of thick red and mauve oil paint.

[Hephaestus 1326]

Across his face, an artisan of yore, speckled at his jawline in hairs, that'd then taken to a hue all close to that of a rainy day and sky. Thus, dimples in the shapes of crow's feet managed at either ends of his cracked, decrepit lips, which'd run dank in in tears of skin then. But, he'd put down his life, for one of poverty, had he not?

"Some things are best left alone, beldam. You are well past your prime years.." He murmured to himself, by the judgement of his own iron drum. "Spare the tears. No longer than sojourn, shall it hurt."

 

In direct contrast, one Raev scribes his own application, thus.
