Midsouth Illustrators Network Facebook Group
The Midsouth Illustrator’s Network Facebook Group is a closed group for Midsouth illustrator members. It's a nice, comfy place to:
• share work
• ask questions
• share good news
• get some encouragement
• get inspired!
It’s a place where we can check in with each other for inspiration and accountability when we need it. It is the primary place of communication for info on Midsouth Illustrator events. Feel free to post your own local illustrator events including local meet-ups, gallery showings, book launches etc. Some illustrator events from the SCBWI National Office will also be posted here. Click Join the Facebook Group and request to join. We look forward to getting connected!
