ILLUSTRATION NOW 2014

Once again, we're nearing the end of the fall semester which means that we're close to our end of the semester show. ILLUSTRATION NOW 2014 opens this Friday night, December 5, and we couldn't be more excited! Between the ILLUSTRATION NOW show and The Harvest Internship Event and all the work the students are finishing up before the winter break, the studios are buzzing!

Since the exhibition space within our department is somewhat small, we decided to keep this show simple and manageable. This year 34 students (out of 96) were selected by full-time faculty and invited to submit up to 2 pieces for consideration in the show. Once all the pieces were submitted, one piece per student was chosen. 

Here's a little preview of some of the work that will be in the show. Check it out!

The KCAI Illustration Department requires our students to have an internship. We want to connect local internship sites with the best possible interns. Our students are interested in pursuing internships in a wide variety of fields. Come see what our students have to offer!

Join us on Thursday, December 4th from 5-8 pm to "harvest" your intern(s). Enjoy refreshments while you peruse The Illustration studios, which will be set up trade show style. The students will have samples of their work and will be available to talk to any interested potential internship sites.
