ILLUSTRATION FACILITIES & STUDIO SPACE The Illustration Department offers an array of top quality facilities to create and exhibit student artwork. We provide three Cintiq labs solely for Illustration, access to three 24-hour Cintiq labs, painting and drawing studios, and a laptop for every student that is fully equipped with the latest Adobe Creative Suite software. The Illustration building, located centrally on campus, also houses its own gallery and several exhibition spaces to showcase the work of Illustration students, faculty, and alumni. The annual Illustration show, Illest of the Ill, is a department juried exhibition that is curated and coordinated entirely by students. SOCIETY OF ILLUSTRATORS To date, Ringling College students have won more awards in the 40-year history of the Society of Illustrators than any other college, and comprise the highest number of accepted entries into the Society’s annual Student Scholarship Competition. About 300 works are chosen from more than 8,700 entries submitted by professors of college-level students nationwide. A competition which can kick start a career, the Student Scholarship Competition challenges students to bring their most sophisticated, well-crafted, and original work to be tested by a jury of professional peers, including illustrators and art directors, that selects the most outstanding works created throughout the year.
