The various crafts and artistic pursuits practiced by members of the [[SCA]].

In point of fact, just about every activity performed in the Society can be described in terms of an art or science.

There are many [[A&S Venues]] in which to enter, exhibit or display created works. Regional and Kingdom [[A&S Competitions]] are held yearly and are judged against a list of standards, called [[criteria]]. [[A&S Display]]s typically are non-competitive but are held in some form at most events.

Twice a year the Kingdom hosts a [[RUM]], or [[Royal University of the Midrealm]], a day university featuring a myriad of classes in a vast array of topics. Normally [[RUM]]s travel around the kingdom so as to ensure each [[region]] gets one every couple of years.

See [[A&S Venues]] for other A&S opportunities the Midrealm recognizes and sponsors.

==Art vs. Science==
A short definition of the difference between what is an art and what is a science is:
If it's eaten, worn or decorative, it's an art.
If you can hit someone with it or use it for something, it's a science.

For example, decorating leather is an art, making armour is a science. So, a leather tooled forearm armor piece displays both an art (decorative leather tooling) and a science (armour making). In general dance is an art while combat is a science.

In the past the Middle Kingdom kept separate [[officer]]s for Arts and Sciences, this was joined into the unified office of [[Minister of Arts and Sciences]] in the late 1990's.
