Calligraphy and painting can be said to be a traditional art in China. Calligraphy enthusiasts often like to discuss and communicate together in order to improve together. General calligraphy enthusiasts can communicate through the following platforms:
First, join the local artists association or calligraphers association. Generally, there are some calligrapher associations at the county or district level. These associations usually hold exchange activities several times a week, or conduct some exchanges every month, and even invite some calligraphers from the province or National-level calligraphy experts will come and give some lectures. The Calligraphers Association is generally a branch of the Artists Association. It is an official organization under the Federation of Literary and Art Circles led by the local government under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. It can also be said to have a certain degree of authority. Joining these associations generally requires certain thresholds. For example, there are certain requirements for how many major calligraphy exhibitions you have participated in or what award-winning works you have published.
Second, you can go to some local galleries to communicate. Although the gallery is mainly engaged in the calligraphy and painting business, there are many works by domestic or provincial masters, and there are also some calligraphy enthusiasts who often go there to gather or directly communicate with each other on calligraphy. This depends on the development of the local cultural industry. Well, some places have relatively good cultural industry development and have more galleries, while some places are relatively backward and may have relatively few galleries.
Third, there are some QQ or WeChat groups for private calligraphy enthusiasts. These groups are generally established by some calligraphy and painting clubs or calligraphy and painting training institutions. Calligraphy enthusiasts can often go there to discuss or communicate, and of course. You need to pay a certain membership fee, because the funds to participate in activities are generally self-raised.
Fourth, in some cities with better development, there are elderly activity centers or cultural exchange centers. These places generally have some calligraphy organizations, and they regularly organize some calligraphy activities, or hold some Calligraphy and painting exhibition.
In short, you should find some calligraphy exchange platforms based on local conditions.
