If you are an illustrator and want to participate in the illustrator exhibit and contest taking place on Friday and Saturday and are attending both days of the conference, please contact Leeza Hernandez - you can participate for free. If you have not signed up for an Intensive Workshop on Friday and would like to exhibit your artwork, please indicate that under Optional Activities on the registration form. There is an additional cost for being included in the exhibit, if you are not attending both days of the conference. If you display your work on Friday, then you will be included in the Exhibit Contest and will be able to display your portfolio on Friday afternoon.
