SCBWI-IL Illustrators Network Gallery Show and Silent Auction
I am honored to be the Network Rep in one of the most active artists' group in the SCBWI organization. The Illustrators Network in Illinois holds monthly meetings, engages guest speakers, has group portfolio shows for art directors, illustration critiques and social events. We also invite writers into the fold and give initial visual impressions on picture book manuscripts. And now, we've ventured into another new territory, our first gallery show. The Chesterton Gallery in Chesterton Indiana has teamed with SCBWI-IL and is showcasing our artists from Illinois and Indiana for the entire month of October. We learned a new term at the show's opening on October 7th...we are all really from "Illiana." Here is our postcard announcing the event:
In addition to the 50+ framed pieces of original art, we are having a month-long silent auction of alphabet letters, with proceeds divided evenly among gallery, artist, and future programming for SCBWI. For a peek at those letters, matted 11 x 14, and instructions to bid, here's a link... alphabet auction

Wow, I didn't know the illustrators network in Illinois was so active. That's great! I live in Illinois and hope that I will be able to join SCBWI someday! I hope the show goes fabulously for everyone!
