Pyotr Petrovich Chobitko, the head of the Calligraphy Art Centre, sent a congratulatory letter to Alexey Yuryevich Shaburov.
Dear Alexey Yuryevich!
We congratulate you and all the participants on the 15th anniversary of the successful holding of the first International Exhibition of Calligraphy in St. Petersburg. It was the exhibition that gave a powerful impetus to the revival of calligraphy in Russia. Thanks to this large-scale project, the art of calligraphy has become accessible to everyone from Kaliningrad to Yakutia and Sakhalin. We wish you, all calligraphers and students to be determined, enthusiastic and creative on this path.
Pyotr Chobitko and the whole team of the Calligraphy Art Centre!
Calligraphy is a kind of music not for the ears, but for the eyes.
(V. Lazursky)
