Chicago South Suburban Events | October 17 – 19, 2025
This week was exciting, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the 36th Annual Juried Show of the Chicago Calligraphy Collective at Tall Grass Arts Association in Park Forest, Illinois. As someone who values creativity, community, and craftsmanship, this event was an inspiring and enriching experience I won’t soon forget. We had a chance to meet one of the artists. The exhibition features a diverse array of calligraphic styles and techniques, from traditional scripts to contemporary interpretations, each piece reflecting the artist’s unique vision and mastery of the medium.
The exhibition is open until November 8, 2025, and offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the beauty of hand-lettered art up close. Whether you’re an artist, a lover of the arts, or someone simply looking to explore something new, this is an experience you won’t want to miss.
