Picture Hooks - Emerging Illustrators Exhibition

Join us in celebrating the magic of picture books!

This Picture Hooks exhibition showcases artwork from emerging children’s book illustrators and their acclaimed illustrator mentors: Jill Calder, David Melling, Sara Ogilvie, Francis Martin and Debi Gliori.

Let your imagination run wild and soak in the colours, characters and stories that make picture books so powerful for any age.

The mentoring programme offered by Picture Hooks provides opportunities for development and networking for new illustrators under the guidance of established professional illustrators, with mentees and mentors carefully paired and working together for nine months.

Please note, that due to classes and workshops, access to the HAC Studio can be limited. We recommend calling us on 01294 274059 to check access prior to visiting to avoid disappointment.

Exhibited from August 2026 to September 2026
