Illustrative features an exclusive exhibition and shows works from 60
internationally recognised illustrators in addition to hosting
conferences, a film program, and parties. Illustrative displays not
only the quality and fantasy of the latest graphic arts but also shows
how the visual effects of graphic design, illustration, book art,
comics, concept art, and animation spill into and influence the field
of art.<br><br>The exhibition is accompanied by the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Young Illustrators
