About the Exhibition
You don’t need to go to an art gallery to see the work of graphic designers and illustrators. It’s all around us. As ubiquitous as it can be, we don’t often consider the invisible artistry that goes into shaping such a considerable part of our visual world.
Point to Point: How Graphic Designers and Illustrators Creatively Connect Ideas offers a glimpse into this creative process. Each artist was asked not only to share finished work, but also insight into how they got there. Whether it’s represented by sketchbooks, previous drafts, etc., visitors are invited to appreciate the process that led from an idea to a beautiful end result.
