The annual PCS Philadelphia Flourishes exhibit was on display from January 16 to March 16, 2004, hosted by the Montgomery County Guild of Professional Artists (McGopa) at their Schuylkill Printing Plant Galleries in the Inquirer Building. An opening reception with music and refreshments was held on Sunday, January 25th from 2-5 PM at the SPP Galleries, 800 River Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406.

In an effort to include as many members' works as possible, this was a non-juried show. Also, for the first time, we invited members to submit a piece of non-calligraphic art for each calligraphic entry in order to show off the breadth of talent that our members possess!
