The Original Art: Celebrating the Fine Art of Children's Book Illustration
The Museum of Illustration at the Society of Illustrators is proud to present The Original Art, an annual exhibit celebrating the fine art of children’s book illustration, on display from October 26 through December 30, 2016.
Founded in 1980 by illustrators’ agent and art director Dilys Evans, this exhibit showcases the original art from the year’s best children’s books. The 2016 exhibit features books selected by a jury of outstanding illustrators, art directors, and editors.
Lifetime Achievement Awards acknowledging one posthumous and one contemporary illustrator’s contributions to the field are selected by artists juried into The Original Art in the last five years. This year's Contemporary Lifetime Achievement Award winner is Ed Young. The Posthumous Award goes to Shel Silverstein. To learn more about the winners click here.
