World Illustration Awards Touring Exhibition
From book covers to newspapers, packaging to murals, illustration is the visual language of everyday life. This touring exhibition celebrates the engaging artform with a diverse range of styles, materials, and topics – featuring an extraordinary range of illustration practice.
The World Illustration Awards are the illustration industry’s most prestigious showcase of the very best work being made by emerging talent and professional illustrators across the globe today. We are thrilled to bring this exciting touring exhibition to campus, containing over 40 works of art from Category Winners, Overall Winners and Highly Commended projects.
