Several members have won awards from the Society of Illustrators in New York City and the Philadelphia Sketch Club for their work.

Klein, Denise Callanan-Kline, Kim Kurki, Linda LaRose, Christina Maniet, Kathryn Maxwell, Steve Ottey, Rebecca Rhodin, Dave Song, Joe Tacynec, Eric Wight and Glenn Zimmer.
Special programs by illustrators are also scheduled during the days of June 26, 27 and 28. Children’s book illustrator Ponder Goembel will give a drawing demonstration geared for elementary school children. Painter and illustrator Deb Hoeffner will give a presentation on her illustration process and collaboration with a self-publishing author in the making of the book “Lucky.” (Dates and times to be announced.)
The show runs in conjunction with the Birthday Festival and Grand Re-Opening of the Pearl S. Buck House. Tours of the newly refurbished home of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and her estate gardens will take place during the three days, and a display of illustrations from the books of Pearl S. Buck will be included in “The Art of Illustration.”
