Since 1953

The Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles was founded in 1953 by a handful of Southern California advertising artists and designers primarily to promote the professional status of illustration art as well as foster both philanthropic and educational goals. From this small beginning it has grown to a very productive membership whose work is seen locally and nationally by millions each year in all printed media, television, films, the Internet and gallery exhibitions.

Today SILA has close to 200 members and is firmly established as the major professional art entity on the West coast providing significant contribution to the vitality of not only the community itself but the nation as well.

"Do not fail, as you go on, to draw something every day, for no matter how little it is it will be well worthwhile, and it will do you a world of good."

   -- Cennini, 1370 – 1440

Our scholarship program is for students enrolled in an institution offering a full-time bachelors degree program. This program is a volunteer program and currently we are hoping a member will volunteer to chair the competition. We do have a scholarship through our annual competition, Illustration West. The show chairman is currently working on the Call for Entries and we'll be mailing information to the students first and we will be posting it on our website.

We hope you enjoy our web site. If you have any questions please write us at The Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles, P.O. Box 940310, Simi Valley, CA 93094. You can call or fax us at 800-799-6368 or email us at info@si-la.org. And be sure to visit our Sponsors.
