Our centenary exhibition, ‘Words Made Beautiful’, is now rescheduled to take place in 2022 at the Mall Galleries, London, opening on the 31st January and close on the 13th February 2022. The second venue will be Swansea Museum where the work will be on display between the 5th and the 19th August 2022. The private view will be held on Saturday 6th August 2022. In the coming weeks the exhibition team will be having discussions with the staff at both venues, and we’ll keep you posted when we have more details.
The collection is curated by SSI Fellows and is a reflection of the 100 years of expressive lettering nurtured by the Society. The beautiful calligraphy to be showcased is the work of SSI Fellows and Lay Members – and you will find that it is as wonderful and grand, as it is inspiring.
While we were disappointed that this special exhibition celebrating our Centenary year was cancelled this year due to the ongoing Covid restrictions, we can now look forward to the special viewing in 2022. In the meantime, we are happy to pre-release the exhibition catalogue – a small consolation to those disappointed about the event cancellation this year. You can now buy your copy of this exclusive Centenary Catalogue in our Shop.
A big thank you to the wonderful team working tirelessly in the background to ensure that it comes to pass – Julie Chaney, Sharon Shaw, Vivien Lunniss, Nikolay Valchev, Alma Swan, Cindy Shaw, Janet Smith, Judith Porch and Adele Dark.
