Prisms: The Illustration Education Symposium brings together illustrators, art directors, educators, students, and researchers to explore the evolving landscape of illustration. Over two days, the program examines how and why we make images—and for whom.
Through presentations and discussions, Prisms addresses critical questions around education, archives, technology, and practice, highlighting connections between research, making, and teaching in a changing world.
Prisms is open to all ICON13 attendees and takes place on Wednesday, July 15, and Thursday, July 16, at Falvey Hall in the Brown Center at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), with sessions running from 9 AM to 4:30 PM each day.
