The inaugural collection featured works created by the 13 illustrators invited to participate in the project.</p> <p><span>(imageblocks)</span></p> <p><span><em>“Most Canadian illustrators undervalue their work even though they are known internationally. I prefer this way of supporting the CCBC to the old auction model because artists are setting the price for their pieces. The artists receive 40% of the art sales, and the remainder goes to the CCBC. The CCBC manages the website and deals with sales, and the artists are reimbursed for shipping expenses separate from the sale price. I initially showed five pieces and sold four. Everybody wins!”</em>—Barbara Reid</span></p> <p>To learn about the selection process, <a href="https://bookcentre.ca/pages/picture-book-gallery-selection-process" rel="noopener" target="_blank">click here</a>. </p> <p>For shipping information and FAQs, <a href="https://bookcentre.ca/pages/picture-book-gallery-shipping-and-faqs" rel="noopener" target="_blank">click here</a><a href="https://bookcentre.ca/pages/picture-book-gallery-shipping-and-faqs"></a>.</p> <h1><span style="color: rgb(192, 20, 36);">Picture Book Gallery Artists</span></h1> <p>(pageblocks)</p>2024-04-18T10:00:29-04:002026-01-14T17:50:39-05:002024-04-18T10:00:29-04:00
