Capturing Imagination: The Art of Storytelling

For all book lovers, comes an exhibition that showcases the complementary nature of narrative and illustration within the picture book. Visitors explore how mood and tension are created within a scene, how illustrators make visual choices, and why specific tools and media are selected.

The Canadian Society of Children's Authors, Illustrators, and Performers (CANSCAIP) are pleased to present a celebration of contemporary & classic Canadian children's book illustration in tandem with the 30th annual Packaging Your Imagination conference. The exhibition showcases a range of seasoned professionals & emerging artists with the goal of increasing awareness of the importance of the Canadian children's book industry.

This is a must-attend show for book lovers, families, and aspiring authors, illustrators & supporters of Canadian children's literature. The exhibition displays work from across the country and is a testament to the legacy and ongoing success of the industry.
