The Center for the Lettering Arts was established in 2010 as a resource to encourage the use of hand lettering as an expressive art, and to promote its use through collaboration in graphic design and printing.

  We offer classes and workshops in hand lettering, organize lectures and workshops for student groups and host exhibits in our gallery.
