Chicago Calligraphy Collective

The Chicago Calligraphy Collective fosters education and exposure to calligraphy in all its various forms and related arts. In an ever-increasing digital world, they believe that providing awareness and appreciation of the “art of beautiful lettering” will allow a time-honored and diverse art form to endure, and thrive in the 21st century.

The West Side Group is a local chapter of the Chicago Calligraphy Collective, with members meeting regularly in Woodridge to provide encouragement and training in lettering and related arts. 

Local artists, from the West Side Group, created art pieces featured in the February exhibit now on display in the Woodridge Public Library’s Art Gallery. Chicago Calligraphy Collective members from greater Chicagoland have provided additional works, highlighting the broad range of media that include calligraphy or lettering art works.
