September Meeting

*****In Person*****

General Meeting: Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 10:30 a.m.

Program to Follow

Location: Frist Museum, 919 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203

( Parking for the Frist Museum for the Nashville Calligraphers Guild meeting will be a discounted rate of $2 per hour)

TRAFFIC NOTE:

Getting to the Frist is easy from I-40 or other areas of town. However, for the past 8 weeks or so, the Broadway Bridge near the Frist has been demolished and reconstructed. The road is scheduled to reopen on September 8th—the day before our meeting at the Frist on Sept. 9th. Yay!

That said, before you come, you may want to double check your route to the Frist. Demonbruen Street is an alternate route to Broadway with the Frist parking lot right off Demonbruen.

THIS MONTH’S PROGRAM: “Showing and Sharing”

As September begins the 42nd year of the Nashville Calligraphers Guild, this month’s program will focus on the members “showing and sharing” events and projects since the May meeting including:

• “2023 Summer Envelope Exchange”. The theme this year was “Birds of a Feather” so everyone is encouraged to bring their envelopes for everyone to see the results.

• IAMPETH Review. Members who attended the Conference in July will share their experiences and examples of what they learned from the classes.

• Favorite tools. Members are asked to bring their favorite tool(s) they use for calligraphy to share with others who may not know. After all, we can’t have too many tools!

• In addition, there will be discussion about the upcoming year. Hopefully, everyone received the survey Ann Cobb sent out to find out the primary interests of the Guild. Right now, there are tentative plans for Guild activities every month through March! And that does not include the scheduled workshops with Ann Cobb and Carol Hall!

This year may be the busiest year the Guild has experienced in awhile so be sure to attend the meeting to show your support and share in the enthusiasm of the Guild. See you there!
