Portland has a rich history in the art of calligraphy, beginning with the world renowned Lloyd Reynolds at Reed College who was an oft-acknowledged inspiration of Steve Jobs. The last six weeks have continued that tradition with not only the incredibly inspiring conference that brought 500 calligraphers to, of course, Reed College, but also with our international juried exhibition called The Poetic Pen.
If you haven't seen The Poetic Pen yet, be sure to stop by today, Friday or Saturday.
