Illustration

This year we will celebrate our 45th anniversary and be hosting our 35th Annual Illustration Celebration. In that time we have seen our artists garner 16 Caldecott Medals and 37 Caldecott Honor Awards. We are proud to be recognized as the premier gallery for picture book illustration and the first venue in the country to feature illustration on an equal footing with “fine art.”

Our Annual Illustration Celebration reception for 2024 was on November 3rd from 4-6pm. If you missed it, you can see pictures of it and our previous Celebrations here! Come back for more information or join the email list here to get updates!
