The National Center for Children’s Illustrated Literature was created to share and celebrate the best original artwork published in children's books, and it's a wonderful place for you and your kids to indulge in the world of fantasy and imagination. Each exhibit features a different artist, and they're rotated on a regular basis. During exhibit opening events, visitors can sometimes even meet the artists themselves and pick up a signed copy of their favorite book. Family art activities are held every Saturday afternoon, and a special Art Adventure is offered for preschoolers once a both. All art activities are free of charge.
