"Our Advanced Illustrators Workshop in the fall of 2011 just hummed with creativity and happiness, so we repeated it the next year. Hear what three illustrators have said about the experience: “The faculty was outstanding. They were always approachable, willing to critique portfolios, share ideas and advice.” —Nancy Armo, Seattle, WA “Words can hardly express how I feel about what I received from attending: Gratitude, inspiration, encouragement, camaraderie, rest, energy, new horizons.” —Rachel Matteson, High Falls, NY “There is nothing to top sitting down with seasoned professionals and listening to their experiences, chat around the dinner table or next to the outdoor fireplace, and hear about experiences on a personal level.” —Hazel Mitchell, Detroit, ME So, this upcoming Labor Day weekend, we are going to do it again. It’s not a party. It’s a hard-work session. But that doesn’t mean you cannot have fun while learning to reach out from your stable place as an artist to new heights. To experiment. And to get the caring and able faculty to work with you. I asked my longtime pal Cindy Smith if she would chair the weekend, and she enthusiastically agreed. So she is going to coordinate the faculty and keep all on schedule. If you know Cindy, you know she is a fireball who is passionate about nourishing illustrators. She’s coming up from her home in South Carolina, where she moved two years ago, to be with us for the whole program. E.B. Lewis is a dedicated and revered teacher. He will be joining us, as will Matt Tavares, also a pro in working with illustration and illustrators. Joy Chu, longtime book designer and art director, will also join the faculty, as will Artie Isaac, the best presenter on creativity I have ever heard. You can go to Highlightsfoundation.org and find all the details: about the place, the program, the faculty. Click here. I will tell you that our new conference center—temporarily named The Barn—is a perfect place for such a confab of like-minded artists. Nobody ever went home hungry, and some of the dishes are downright spectacular. My favorite is the ice-cream cabinet, available round the clock. The Highlights Foundation has the custom of presenting an all-inclusive price. We will pick you up at a nearby airport. Lodge you in comfort. Feed you well. Provide any necessary art supplies. And pamper you the best we know how. Make a commitment to expand your artistic horizons today." highlightsfoundation.org/workshops/advanced-illustrators-workshop-2/
