Join illustrator/ Art Director Jim Datz and illustrator Ariel Davis for an informal conversation over dinner at the Society of Illustrators. Open to students and emerging professionals (those within their first ten years of an illustration career), this is your chance to ask two top professionals anything about the business. This event will be private, so no question is too dumb!

Seating is limited to 7. Interested attendees must fill out a quick online application and include a brief statement on why you should be invited to a seat at the table.

Please note: Do NOT bring your art/portfolio to the dinner. Deadline to apply is Thursday, March 7th at noon. 

Admission: $20 (includes dinner)
