Dear CAFAM members,
We recently heard from the organizer of a calligraphy event for the public in Portland, and they’re looking for volunteers to demonstrate Chinese calligraphy. It sounds fun, and it would be a big omission if Chinese calligraphy were not represented at the event. If you are able to help out, please contact Cindy Han cindyhan09@gmail.com.
Here are the details:
Date: Saturday, Sept 10, 2016; 9:30 am – 1 pm
Where: Congress Square Park, Portland
What: Volunteer calligraphers demonstrating and allowing participants to try their hand
About 50-100 visitors are expected to drop by the event, and other cultures & languages, from Arabic to Hebrew, will be represented. The organizers will provide supplies. Ideas include teaching participants how to write their name or a phrase or proverb.
Best,
Alex
