I got this announcement from the Utah Calligraphic Artists group--they are invited GBW members to attend if they so wish.
The Utah Calligraphic Artists guild is pleased to be hosting an evening lecture with Diane von Arx, one of three American calligraphers invited to be part of the artistic team for the St. John’s Bible project. The lecture will be Thursday, May 5, 2016, at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center, 1355 W. 3100 S., West Valley City, Utah, at 7 p.m.
A talented artist/calligrapher, Diane worked as an illuminator on the St. John’s Bible and was also responsible for the design and completion of the Book of Honor, the donor volume for the collection. She is a renowned calligrapher and graphic designer of corporate resolutions and documents of recognition. Her corporate clients include: Target Corporation, General Mills, Inc., University of Minnesota, Westlaw, Medtronics, Ameriprise Financial, and Saint John’s University. Diane is a gifted lettering arts teacher and has taught classes and workshops throughout the U.S., Canada, in Japan and Australia.
Diane has titled her lecture “Special Treatment Illuminations from the Wisdom Volume” and will be sharing her experiences working on the St. John’s Bible. We are pleased that the Special Collections Department of BYU’s Harold B. Lee Library will display two volumes of their Heritage Edition of the St. John’s Bible at the lecture. There will be refreshments and an opportunity to visit with Diane following her presentation. This event is free and open to the public.
We would like to extend a special invitation to you, your colleagues, and students to join us for this very special evening. I have attached a flyer about the lecture and hope you will take a minute to forward it to anyone you think might appreciate knowing about this event.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.
Best wishes,
Judy Sommerfeldt
Utah Calligraphic Artists Workshop Chair
