Third International Calligraphy Exhibition in Bruges, 1989.
For several years, an exhibition about lettering art was set up in a beautifully restored house in a small dead-end street in Bruges, Belgium. Every three years, during summer, people could visit this internationally renowned exhibit and enjoy a magnificent setting. If I'm not mistaken, there have been 8 exhibitions in total. A select gathering of internationally renown calligraphers and letter carvers as such had never happened before.
