The Office of Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences is responsible for fostering the study of period culture and technology, and methods for producing historically accurate artifacts and performances. His/her duties include coordinating the efforts of local Arts and Sciences officers, and promoting the dissemination of accurate information about the fields under study. It is also the responsibility of the Minister of Arts and Sciences to help organize demonstrations, exhibitions, competitions, classes, workshops or special interest groups can do this.

Every local A & S Officer must submit monthly reports summarizing the activities of the local group and local members. Being accessible to your group and keeping them educated about what is happening both locally and at the Kingdom level is a vital part of your job. Another important part of an A & S Officers’ duty is communication with artisans so that each gets the help and recognition that is needed. The local Officer is responsible for promoting all aspects of the Arts and Sciences including period-inspired creativity, scholarly research or authentic research. Anyone who shows an interest in the arts and sciences should be encouraged thorough competitions, displays, teaching or performing, to name a few. Local Officers should also help at Kingdom A & S events, Collegiums and Queens Prizes when ever possible.
