The show features many well-known artists whose illustration work appeared and appears in Toronto-based and national magazines. I was fortunate to be editor of The City magazine (Toronto Sunday Star), a weekly that was art directed by Louis Fishauf (and, before him, Rob Melbourne) and which for a time commissioned a lot of spot and feature illustrations. Among them: Mike Constable, Sandra Dionisi, Blair Drawson, James Hill, Roger Hill, Jerzy Kolacz, Anita Kunz. (The year I was president of the National Magazine Awards, the poster was done by Blair Drawson.)
Curators of the show are Bill Grigsby (whose firm Reactor Art + Design is agent for many great illustrators, including many in the show) and artist and illustrator Gail Geltner.
