Artist Day July 2022

Published on 21/07/2022

Advocate-Art prides itself on more than just the projects they bring to their illustrators.

Their agents strive to build strong relationships with each of their illustrators, allowing them to feel like they are a part of an inclusive community. Last week Advocate had their Summer Artist Day, where agents spent the day catching up with our wonderful illustration artists, like Erin BrownJoanne Cave and Morena Forza. As well as meeting some new faces who just join the Advocate roster, such as, Lidia FernandezDarshika Varma, and Guadalupe Andrade. It was a great time to touch base, set goals for the rest of the year, and celebrate some of the amazing projects Advocate illustrators have worked on.

We are looking forward to more great work from the Advocate-Art illustrators and agents!
