'You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby' in Wankelman Gallery
Bob Hochgertel |
Sixty contemporary American illustrators have created portraits of themselves for the traveling exhibit “You Must Have Been
a Beautiful Baby,” on display through Nov. 9 in the Willard Wankelman Gallery at the Fine Arts Center.
Organized by the Society of Illustrators and curated by Murray Tinkelman, the show depicts how illustrators view themselves:
as cutesy toddlers, nerdy brats or punky pre-pubescents.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 1-4 p.m. on Sundays.
For more information, contact Jacqui Nathan, gallery director, at galleries@bgsu.edu, 2-8525, or http://gallery.bgsu.edu.

fire hazards while decorating and on the use of portable heaters and halogen lamps, which are prohibited. Call Environmental
Health and Safety at 2-2171 for further information.
The decorating policy is at www.bgsu.edu/offices/envhs/page14008.html.
