About Society of Scribes

Founded in 1974, and based in New York City, the SoS is a non-profit educational organization which promotes the study, teaching and practice of calligraphy and related disciplines.

SoS fosters the appreciation, understanding and acceptance of calligraphy as a fine art. It also encourages fellowship and the exchange of ideas through its speakers, programs, workshops, exhibits and publications.

Funded by membership dues and contributions which are tax deductible, membership runs from January 1.
