Both those who are new to calligraphy and members who want to participate in the contest can take this course.

Other calligraphy and arts organizations don't require an English name when signing up for membership, but why does the Toxic Oriental Calligraphy Association request an English name?

The Oriental Calligraphy Association creates a kind of website where all regular members who have paid an annual fee can display their experiences and works in an Internet web space.

I would like to request that all members create a URL address in the following format.

‍ https://orientalcalligraphy.org/calligrapher/your_name

The purpose is to create your own global link so that you can easily introduce your career and works online or offline anywhere in the world, so if you tell us your name or nickname in English, our office will check your annual fee payment details and full membership status, and then create a free web page.

While working as an invited artist for the Oriental Calligraphy Association, I would like to get to know other artists and engage in various cultural activities. What should I do?

First, please send us your detailed biography and representative works, and if you sign up as a member of Dongyang West Association first, we will check your eligibility to participate in various cultural events (such as member exhibitions and private exhibitions) run by our organization and then guide you.

Can I get a donation receipt for an annual fee or donation paid to the Oriental Calligraphy Association?

Donation receipts can only be issued by tax-eligible organizations (public service corporations/organizations, etc.), and the user organization is legally responsible and authorized for this.

Unfortunately, our association is not yet a tax-eligible organization, so if proof is required, we can issue a donation confirmation (for simple proof without tax benefits).
