First Russian Calligraphic Schools for Children Will Probably Be Opened in 2008.
First schools of calligraphy in Russia will probably be opened in 2008 in Moscow and St Petersburg, told RIA Novosti Aleksey Shaburov, MVK Director General.
"Some famous Russian calligraphers expressed the desire to open calligraphic schools in their cities. We have discussed the matter and approved it in advance. If we reach a consensus, one of the schools will be opened in Moscow at Sokolniki Exhibition Centre, and another one will work in St Petersburg at Russian Institute of the History of Arts", said Shaburov.
According to Shaburov, MVK International Exhibition Company is planning to restore the interest for calligraphic art. In autumn they will launch International Calligraphic Exhibition and Mobile Museum of Calligraphy. Its exposition will contain unstudied samples of national script and historic scripts of various nations kept in Russian archives.
