Between October 6 and 8 the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy took part in Art-Retro, an exhibition held in the Moscow Government Headquarters in New Arbat. The exhibit featured some unique pieces from vast museum's collection, which proved a highlight of the event. Seeing calligraphy artworks from all over the world captivated the guests. Also an experienced trainer of the National Calligraphy School, Ekaterina Orfanova, held free workshops – Broad pen calligraphy and Italic-based penmanship, while everyone interested could enrol to calligraphy and lettering courses, which are now taking applications.
Calligraphy is the art of deliberate hieroglyphic corruption and transformation in order to reach natural harmony.
