2nd International Exhibition of Calligraphy in Moscow
In 2009, Moscow becomes the world capital of calligraphy.
Here East will meet West, professional artists will meet amateurs, and classical calligraphy will meet ultramodern works. The exhibition will feature works by renowned calligraphers from 33 countries: exquisite examples of Slavic and European lettering, the austere forms of classical Japanese and traditional Chinese writing, and the refined scripts of the Jewish and Arab schools of calligraphy.
Visitors in the capital will have a unique opportunity to see themed collections, rare handwritten books, writing materials and instruments, a calligraphic masterpiece listed in Guinness World Records, and other unusual exhibits. Everyone is welcome to attend calligraphy masterclasses and watch world-class masters from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Israel, Italy, France, Tunisia and Serbia create their works.
The exhibition is held under the auspices of the Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO, with support from the Russian Ministry of Culture and the approval of the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Russian rabbinate, the Council of Muftis of Russia and representatives of Buddhist organizations. This highlights the event’s particular importance for preserving the world’s cultural and historical heritage.
