Art Show Guidelines:

Create a piece inspired by the conference location in Norfolk, VA. Norfolk is a vibrant city nestled along the Chesapeake Bay, offering a perfect blend of history, culture, and coastal charm. Known for its bustling waterfront, Norfolk boasts stunning views, lively marinas, and a rich maritime heritage, with attractions like the USS Wisconsin and the Nauticus Museum. Beyond its history, the city has a thriving arts scene, from the Virginia Opera to the Chrysler Museum of Art. Norfolk is also home to the world’s largest Naval base and over 100 mermaid statues.

Let the themes of water, service, creative expression and maritime connection inspire you to create a piece to share with the calligraphy community. Whether scribing your favorite seaside poem, or writing a piece in honor of a veteran, let the themes of water, service, creative expression and maritime connection inspire you.
