Kickback & Connect: Illustrators Edition | Wednesday, July 15th
The Society of Publication Designs (SPD) is coming to Making Space Bmore on Wednesday, July 15th for a special Illustrator Mixer edition of SPD’s Kickback & Connect! This is an evening dedicated to the art, business, and community of image-making. Whether you’re an illustrator looking to deepen your understanding of how art directors think, an art director eager to connect with emerging image-makers, or a Baltimore creative curious about the SPD community — this evening is for you.
Meet SPD Board Members: Illustrator Brian Lutz (Professor, University of Hartford), and art directors Dian Holton (AARP), Anne Latini (Fast Company), and Faith Stafford (LA Times). We’ll also be joined by Pittsburgh based Paper + Dirt, who will be curating a selection of independent magazine titles spanning sport, design, food, art and architecture for a one-day pop-up.
This event is free.
No cover charge = no excuse not to come
