Illustration

In 2025 we celebrate our 46th anniversary and will host our 36th Annual Illustration Celebration on November 2nd.  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.”

The opening reception will take place on Sunday, November 2nd from 4-6 pm. Come meet your favorite Illustrators and Authors, at our biggest party of the year! The Eric Carle Museum will be here selling books and, as always, this event is free and open to the public. All ages are welcome.   You can see pictures of our previous Celebrations here!  Come back for more information or join the email list here to get updates!
