Each year, the Society of Illustrators celebrates the year’s best illustrations and animations created by college students. A jury of professionals from the field—art directors, illustrators, and other professionals—choose works for an exhibition at the Museum of Illustrators in New York. This year, 14 Ringling College of Art and Design Illustration students were selected for the exhibition, and one student was awarded a scholarship.
The exhibition will be on view at the museum from May 8-June 8, 2024, with a reception and awards ceremony on May 10. The show will also be accompanied by a catalog.
The exhibition will include Illustration majors Stephanie Bravo, Brian Hoffman, Stephanie Hunton, Paige Kidkul, Gray Lovette, Ricardo Perez, Aleena Raja, Nico Roper, Elena May binti Saini Jeffery, Xioanny Santiago Ortiz, scholarship winner Damian Villegas, Xiaoliang Wang, Maddy Williams-Solberg, and Ursala Yang. Villegas won the prize for the Win, Lose, and Draw category.
The Society of Illustrators was founded in 1901 and included as its members at various times N.C. Wyeth, Rube Goldberg, and Norman Rockwell. The Museum of Illustration opened in 1981 and offers year-round exhibitions, including rotating works from their 2,500-piece collection.
