Hello! Ciao! Ave! After a five year hiatus, our international calligraphic community will gather IN PERSON for Roman Holiday 2024, the 40th Calligraphy and Lettering Arts Conference! While we’re excited just to gather in the same location after such a long time, St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa provides the reason why we celebrate coming together as a community.

St. Ambrose University (SAU) was the home of Father Edward Catich, whose seminal book The Origin of the Serif has influenced countless lettering artists. It is now the home of Father Catich’s extensive archives and his contribution to our history simply insists on being recognized and honored. Our hope is that the theme of Roman Holiday captures our collective journey from formal, traditional rules of historical form to personal, creative expression.
