Juror: Richard Laurent

Cartooning and animation are powerful modes for speaking truth to power, when protest is captioned in a word bubble and dry humor delivers the punch. In honor of Oak Park artist and prolific political cartoonist Keith J. Taylor, this juried national exhibition comes at a fraught time, an election year, and invites artists working in all forms of cartooning and animation to submit works that speak to this moment in human history.

We are always open to enhancing our garden courtyard, especially with works of art!

With the holidays coming and yard decor soon on display from October through December, we are putting out a call for outdoor sculpture with a spooky vibe.
