The Cheltenham Illustration Awards have been running since 2007 and each year, we are fortunate to see illustration entries from across the world. This exhibition showcases the selected work from the entrants of 2024. Each piece of narrative art interprets the theme of the year in a thoughtful and insightful way. The theme of 2024 was ‘future forecasts’ and judges were particularly impressed with the range of materials and image-making processes used this year including printed objects, diaoramas, and knitting!

We hope that you enjoy this selection of work that speculates on what the future may hold. What do you imagine you might see in the future? What is your future forecast?

The exhibition will be accompanied by family workshops during the school holidays - details to be announced nearer the time.
