In 2009 Moscow became the capital of calligraphy. 

It is where the Orient meets the West, professional artists speak to amateurs, classical calligraphy joins ultramodern art pieces. The exposition will feature art works from 33 countries: refined Slavonic and European calligraphy, traditionally reserved Japanese and Chinese creations, elegant scripts of the Hebrew and Arabic calligraphy schools.

The metropolitan public has a nice opportunity to see subject collections, rare handwritten books, writing materials and equipment, the calligraphy masterpiece listed in the Guinness World Records, and other extraordinary art pieces. Every comer may attend a live performance and watch creation of a masterpiece. Calligraphers from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Israel, Italy, France, Tunisia and Serbia will try their best to make a beautiful show.

The exhibition is organized under the aegis of the Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO and supported by the Ministry for cultural affairs of the Russian Federation. Also the exhibition was officially recognized by the Russian Orthodox Church, the Russian rabbinate, Russian Council of Muftis and Buddhist organizations.
