Outline of an History...
Please note that with the desire of worrying about the clarity and the simplicity of the writing, some events and actions were voluntarily omitted by the AIIQ "historians". Thanks for your comprehension!
The Association birth
" In 1981, Communication Jeunesse had organised the first kids books illustration contest of the Quebec province and, at the price hand-over, during the illustrations exhibition preview, we were all astonished to be so many to share the same injustices and generosities of the edition world. Communication Jeunesse had created an occasion to reunite us all: it was wonderful for us to come out of our isolation and to talk about the illustrating job. In this Parc Avenue café, without knowing what was going to happen, we were a dozen illustrators with the desire of creating this association. " (text from Suzanne Duranceau) " Following the event, meeting increased, in 1982, to prepare the future association. Subsequently, we held an auction at Café Campus. "
1983 - 19871988 - 1992
1993 - 1997
1998 - 2003
2004 - 2008
With the desire of promoting illustrator and also to induce links with their clients, the AIIQ created the very first Illustration Quebec directory. After 21 years of existence, the success of the directory within the illustration buyers' universe is still intense for it allow a privileged contact between both worlds : the artist's and the client's. Offer yourself a journey through time and let your eyes be delighted by 25 catalogue covers.
