This exhibition presented the rich, diverse cultural heritage of Maine illustrators through narrative imagery. A showcase of more than 80 illustrators with deep Maine connections, The Great State of Illustration in Maine promoted illustration as an art form in the very place where books are easily and publicly accessed. Renowned artists such as Ashley Bryan, Barbara Cooney, Dahlov Ipcar, Melissa Sweet, Chris Van Dusen, N.C. Wyeth were represented in this exhibition.

We are deeply grateful to the generous sponsors who made this exhibit possible: Anonymous; the Davis Family Foundation, established by Phyllis C. Davis and H. Halsey Davis; the Falmouth Education Foundation; and Judith and Michael Vance.
