The Art in the Letter exhibit celebrates the art form of Calligraphy. Artists Diane Amarotico and Cynthia Mish are accomplished artists in the medium of Calligraphy.

Cynthia Mish trained at Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. She taught calligraphy in several colleges in Los Angeles and at Southern Oregon University. Her calligraphy has been published in Paris, California and Oregon.
