Exhibitions

Since 2005 members have proudly displayed their calligraphy work at the May Annual Exhibition, and at Roaming Exhibitions, with occasional changes to dates and duration due to venue availability.

Exhibition locations have been - Renfield St Stephens Church Centre, Mitchell Library, Glasgow Caledonian University, West Dunbartonshire Council, North Lanarkshire Council and Cass Art Glasgow.

After 2020-22 Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions members chose to hold informal displays of work at our Annual General Meetings in the Mercure Glasgow City Hotel, our current meeting venue. The possibility of an external Annual Exhibition will be discussed at the beginning of our 2023-24 meeting session. We hope to display more images then. Meantime calligraphy items produced during 2016-19 are displayed below. Clicking on each image will reveal a larger picture. Please note that image quality may be affected by exhibit cellophane protection and strong lighting. We hope that you enjoy viewing our calligraphy!
