The City presents Art of Illustration, an exhibition that explores the power of visual storytelling through the art of illustration. The exhibit is on display from January 12 through March 30, 2026, at the Arts Barn. Meet the artists during a free reception on Thursday, February 5, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to view the artwork in person and connect with the illustrators whose work brings narratives to life through creative techniques.

Art of Illustration features six artists working in a variety of mediums, including pencil, ink, graphic design, printmaking, and watercolor. Each piece offers a unique perspective on how illustration can convey emotion, character, and story in compelling ways.

Artists include: Christina Haslinger, Carol Moore, Sarah Rowan, Pritha Srinivasan, Jesse Von Wieman, and Sarah Rickenbaker.

Please note that most artwork is available for purchase, and all images are copyrighted by the artists.
