Programs are free for WCG members; non-members can attend for free or a small fee. The Zoom link will be emailed several days before the event.
Programs begin at 7:30 pm ET but attendees are invited to log on at 7 pm for conversation and, if needed, assistance with technical issues.
All WCG members as well as registered nonmembers will receive a link to view a recording of that program for 30 days. We ask that you not share the link for live or recorded programs on social media or other outlets; they are the property of the Washington Calligraphers Guild.
