This event, which takes place from June 30 to July 3, 2017 is a great opportunity for concept artists to connect with the masters and each other to get valuable feedback on their artwork and insight into the field and their career path. The talks and workshops during the event are designed to facilitate maximum collaboration between the participants so they can work together and challenge themselves to push the boundaries of their illustration and design skills and create better art.
