The Island Scribes two-themed calligraphy exhibit “Palindromes & Family” will be displayed at the Garden City Public Library from March 3-29, 2010. A palindrome is a word or phrase which reads the same in both directions. A simple example is the word “racecar.” The second theme on display will be all about family - all created in exquisite hand lettering by talented artist members. Island Scribes is a member of the Association for the Calligraphic Arts (ACA), the international organization for the promotion of calligraphy.
