We believe that great art and great writing go hand in hand. Our mission to support illustrated publishing and the visual arts will steam ahead at ADIBF 2021.

Every year, our hugely popular Illustrators’ Corner showcases a vibrant selection of work from experienced and emerging artists from around the world, and displays the wealth of creative talent the MENA region has to offer. It provides exciting networking opportunities for illustrators and illustrated publishers from around the world.

The Corner is also a hive of artistic activity. In 2019, we staged technical workshops on topics from calligraphy to colour to cover art, as well as a business-oriented seminar on how to retain proper credit for your work as an illustrator in a digital age.

Illustrators’ Corner provides the perfect place for illustrators, designers and publishers to come together, sample each other’s work, do valuable business and learn new artistic techniques or how to become more profitable illustrated publishers. See you there!
