ANA Studio, Suite A

Join ANA for this free interactive art making session. Bring your calligraphy supplies or use those provided.
Calligrapher, poet, and former tech writer, Jo Lightfoot, will be the featured presenter at ANA Gallery & Studio's July Artist Talk in Downtown Rogers.
Calligraphy—“beautiful writing”—has a literal meaning that has evolved over centuries to encompass far more than the written word. It is an art form that engages aesthetics, emotion, history, and technique.
In this ANA session, Jo Lightfoot—whose life's work has explored the intertwined paths of words and visual art—will share highlights of the many elements that make calligraphy such a rich and enduring practice. The presentation will include the history and structure of key lettering styles, demonstrations, visual examples, and opportunities for participants to try a few techniques themselves.
Participants are invited (but not required) to bring a favorite one-sentence quote—inspirational or otherwise—to share with the group.
