SUMMARY:Learn Traditional Mongolian Calligraphy
DESCRIPTION:This event is being held in-person and is open to everyone. Registration is now CLOSED.  \nStep into the world of traditional Mongolian calligraphy and discover the elegance of this ancient art form. Join Global Minnesota for a thoughtfully curated workshop teaching the basics of Mongolian calligraphy. As you practice\, you will also learn more about Mongolian culture and history. You’ll take home a finished art piece of your design – write your name\, a poem\, or look to our expert teacher for suggestions. \nAll materials are included with registration. Light snacks will be provided. \nIf you require an accessibility accommodation\, please contact our Events Manager Katie Kelley at kkelley@globalminnesota.org. \nFeatured Artist: Oyun Erdene-Byambadorj \nOyun-Erdene Byambadorj\, an international student at the University of St. Thomas\, is pursuing a degree in Philosophy. She has seven years of experience in the art of calligraphy and specializes in traditional Mongolian calligraphy. For Oyun-Erdene\, calligraphy is far more than an artistic practice; it is a profound mental discipline to find inner peace. \nPaid parking is available in the University Avenue Ramp (1926 University Ave SE\, Minneapolis\, MN 55455) located across the street from Global Minnesota. Street parking in the area is limited. \nGlobal Minnesota members receive early-access registration and discounted admission.
