Welcome Words

A non-juried exhibit at Mount Angel Abbey

October 18 to November 15, 2025
Mount Angel Abbey Library

October 18 | 2 – 4 pm
Exhibit Opening & Reception
A presentation on the illuminated manuscripts of Mount Angel Abbey will be given in the library auditorium.

The theme “Welcome Words” was chosen to reflect our love of words, to acknowledge the way in which three calligraphic guilds have welcomed the opportunity to work together, the Benedictine tradition of welcoming, and our desire to live in a welcoming world.

Sponsored by the Capital Calligraphers, the Portland Society for Calligraphy,
and the Valley Calligraphy Guild in conjunction with the Mount Angel Institute.
