We had close to 1300 entries and our judges, Anna & Elena Balbusso, Doug Alexander Gregory, Rebecca Guay, Steven E. Hughes, Thomas James, David Mack, Lauren Panepinto, Jon Schindehette and Esther Pearl Watson – all brought aboard by our Show Chair Marc Scheff – have finished their judging.
The caliber of work was very high and, as a result, the cut off numbers were very tight. There are 267 entries accepted represented by 139 artists.
The IllustrationWest.org/54 website will launch just prior to the November 7, 2015 Opening Night that will be held in the Gallery at 5119 Eagle Rock Blvd., Los Angeles. CFE artwork © by Goñi Montes
