We represent members of Guild of Natural Science Illustrators living in southern Wisconsin, northern Indiana and northern Illinois. Most of our meetings are held in the Chicago area.
We hold meetings about three times a year. Great Lakes meetings include lectures, workshops, exhibits and field trips. Our goals are to encourage and support the profession of scientific illustration and encourage networking among scientific illustrators. We share information, learn new techniques and network about our experiences in freelancing, exhibiting and staff positions.
