Sharing ideas and resources is key to achieving our aims and building a supportive and caring community. The illustration educators website is a publishing platform that builds connections between us and publicly advocates for our interests and concerns. 

Each year our advisory committee selects a provocation/theme which is then communicated via our newsletter and on the illustration educators website. 

In response to the provocation we will host a series of workshops, reading groups and seminars, which are open to all members, to generate resources which are then published on the illustration educators website. Members are also invited to submit resources that they have authored in response to the provocation. Authors will decide whether the resources are only available to members or published publicly.

A symposium held at the end of the year brings together presentations from membership events as well as introducing new voices via an open call for papers. Outputs from the symposium will be publicly available via the resources page of the illustration educators website.
