On Sunday, November 17, 2024, Prix Albertine Jeunesse winning illustrator Anne-Lise Boutin joins us for a drawing workshop. 

The event is open to all, but recommended for children aged 6 to 12. This event is free with the purchase of a book.  Click here for tickets. 

This event is co-organized with Villa Albertine, and is a part of Albertine’s 10th Anniversary Celebration and Villa Albertine’s Authors on Tour program. 

 ANNE-LISE BOUTIN is a French illustrator and visual artist. Trained at the École Duperré and the Arts Déco in Paris, she teaches at the Higher Institute of Applied Arts (LISAA) in Paris and divides her work between publishing and the press (Libération, Le Monde, Les Échos, The Guardian, The New York Times, The Boston Globe). She has illustrated more than fifty children’s books, including Brothers Zzli (trans. by Vineet Lal, Eerdmans Books for Young Readers), written by Alex Cousseau and winner of the 2024 Prix Albertine Jeunesse. Her work, characterized by cutouts, simple colors, and flat shapes, is inspired by popular arts, the marvelous, and the strange, leaving ample room for the imagination.
