The Word On The Street has been renowned for the quality and diversity of its event programming and our 2025 festival promises to offer the best so far. Check out our schedule for Saturday, September 20, 2025!
Editorial Illustration is a broad discipline that can involve whimsical cartoons, biting caricature, or even robust paintings. Regardless of the style or medium, the goal is generally the same: to elucidate and provide a thoughtful counterpoint to the article or subject being addressed. This workshop will explore how artists have met this challenge over the years, and methods for creating your own editorial illustrations.
