The China Calligraphers Association (CCA) is a professional people’s organization composed of calligraphers and calligraphy industry workers of all ethnic groups in China under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. CCA, a group member of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles (CFLAC), serves as a bridge and bond that links the Party and the Chinese government with the calligraphy community, and is an important force for promoting the prosperity of socialist literature and art undertakings as well as the building of a country with strong socialist culture.
Since its establishment in May 1981, the China Calligraphers Association has achieved significant progress in areas such as artistic creation, academic research, calligraphy education, external exchanges, and organizational management. Currently, it’s home to 40 group members and over 15,000 individual members in the calligraphy sector.

Continuously strengthen services, management, and self-regulation within the industry. Carry out thematic activities centered around the key work of the Party and the State. Hold calligraphy exhibitions, organize calligraphy creation and selections, and carry out research and academic exchanges on calligraphy theory.
