FIELD TRIP! Fairy Tales & Fables: Illustration & Storytelling in Art (Members’ Only)

We’ll meet at the Cleveland Museum of Art for their special exhibition on book illustration. According to the Museum’s website, “This exhibition features more than 50 rarely seen artworks related to book illustration from the museum’s holdings and local collections. Included are preparatory sketches, finished drawings and watercolors, printing blocks, limited edition prints, and published books created between 1750 and 1950.” NOBS Board member and Cleveland Museum of Art docent Laura Martin will be our guide for this very special experience. Watch your email for registration information! NOTE: this field trip is for NOBS members only!
