 Dear friends!
I am glad to welcome the participants and guests of the International Exhibition of Calligraphy. This exhibition promises to be an important event in the cultural life of Russia. Restoration and preservation of historical traditions of Russian script, promotion of cultural and ethnographic values and art of calligraphy will help strengthening the position of the Russian language in Russia. The calligraphic traditions have been handed down from generation to generation, and they shouldn’t be forgotten. The masters of the national schools of calligraphy will give their master classes where they will discover the secret of their art to the young artists. I wish all the participants realization of their ideas and dreams and bright impressions to the visitors.
