What we do
One community, gathered on the water.
We are not a single event. We are the people who put on the shows, keep the community talking between them, and look after a craft that has been passed hand to hand for decades.
We run the shows
The Miami Pen Show every year, and the Cruise Pen Show setting sail in 2027. Each one has its own character, and both are ours.
We gather the community
Serious collectors, journalers, artists, and the merely curious. Everyone who loves a good pen has a seat at the table.
We keep the craft alive
More than thirty years of heritage, from the earliest Miami shows to today. We honor the vintage roots and welcome the new makers.
