Their efforts resulted in creation of a talented bright five days-long fest of the opportunities of calligraphy in filling our lives with beauty, strengthening of relations and mutual understanding between the nations”.
 It is a well-known fact the civilizations are known in history by the cultural achievements, mainly the masterpieces of visual and fine art. No one now remembers the names of antique workshops and medieval manufactories. But the names of Miron, Skopas, Praxiteles, da Vinci, Rafael and Titian are known by every more or less educated person. This is – the power of art!
Organization of cultural forums is highly important for spiritual state of people nowadays, improvement of their humanitarian knowledge.
The International Exhibition of Calligraphy is featuring among such forums. The ancient art of calligraphy, a bit neglected and underestimated nowadays, is an effective means for people to find their place in the world of beauty. It is a way for one person to show respect to another. It is the way people can be united by means of beauty.
Many thanks to the initiators and organizers of the show. Their efforts resulted in creation of a talented bright five days-long fest of the opportunities of calligraphy in filling our lives with beauty, strengthening of relations and mutual understanding between the nations
