Already for the 5th time the Baltic Sea Cultural Centre invites for the Baltic Meetings of Illustrators.
Meetings are a great place to promote the most interesting achievements of illustrators from all over the world, mostly focusing on books for children - the most sensitive readers.
The main subject of this year’s edition will be humor and laughter in children’s books. We shall talk about it also with our honorary guest, great Polish illustrator, Bohdan Butenko.

Supported by a grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Financial Mechanism and the Norwegian Financial Mechanism
The Baltic Meetings of Illustrators is a cycle of events taking place on annual basis focused on the best Polish and foreign book illustration. Meetings have an interdisciplinary character – they consist of exhibitions, presentationts, meetings with illustrators, publishers, writers as well as workshops both for children and young artists.
The main subject of this year’s edition of the Batic Meetings will be the works of the Prince of Illustration – eminent painter, graphic designer, sculpturer and book illustrator – Józef Wilkoń.
How to combine embroidery with belly dance? What connections are there between the world's reggae legend and an orchestra of punk mandolinists? Is it possible to put together an American pioneer of the ambient and a producer of impressive visualizations with Serbian avant-garde artists who create their art from discarded scrapes? What has cabaret country-punk in common with fairytale-like combinations of jazz and electronic music?
Or perhaps it doesn't make sense to search for fake links and tracks? Perhaps it’s not worth explaining and theorizing?
Clashes, surprises, bewilderment.
