In mid-November of 2022, the Philadelphia Calligraphers’ Society began a yearlong series of art exhibits and community events to benefit the good works of Project HOME. Generous members of the Society donated artwork with sales going directly to this Philadelphia charity that provides housing, job training and opportunities, healthcare, and education to many of our less fortunate neighbors. 

Since then, we have had exhibits at Medford Leas, the Central Branch of the Philadelphia Free Library, and at the Galleria Deptford in New Jersey. Sales from the “Serendipity Shop” at Autumn Antics and Writes of Spring also were donated to this project. 

This charitable initiative finishes with a last show at the Main Line Art Center in Haverford, PA, during the month of October. The opening reception, a wine and cheese party, will be on Thursday, October 12, from 5:30-8:00 pm. The gallery we’ve been given is rather small, so we’ll need to be creative in displaying the remaining artwork on hand—approximately 30 pieces as well as bookmarks, house ornaments, and greeting cards. 

We’re hoping for a great turnout at the reception and asking every member who can attend to bring at least one friend. Not only will you be supporting a good cause, but it’s also an opportunity to do some early holiday shopping. See you on the 12^th!
