Annual Children’s Book Illustration Exhibit, R. Michelson Galleries

December 4th, 2005

The 16th Annual Children’s Book Illustration Exhibit opened yesterday, December 3, at the R. Michelson Galleries in Northampton, MA. This year’s exhibit features illustrations from the new book Happy Feet by Richard Michelson and E.B. Lewis–a book about Harlem’s Savoy Ballroom and inspired by the swing dancer Frankie Manning. Works by Alice Provensen and Jane and Brooke Dyer also are on exhibit.

Unfortunately, the Lindy Hop demonstrations were only at last night’s opening party. The exhibit, however, runs from December 3 through January 30, 2006. For more information, see the gallery’s website, which includes a reprint of the November 27, 2005 Boston Globe article about the exhibit.
