Enter the Babin — exhibit and award update

Last week a new retrospective of the life and times of editorial cartoonist Rex Babin opened in Sacramento, CA. Focusing on Babin's state and local work, the California Museum launched "Drawing Caleeforneeya" with a special reception on Friday, August 17, on the late artist's birthday. Sactown Magazine has a look at the show, which runs through Oct. 14, 2018.

This past weekend also saw the deadline for the "Rex Babin Memorial Award for Excellence in Local Cartooning." The winner will be announced on Saturday, Sept. 22, during this year's AAEC convention in Sacramento. Entries were up this year, to 37 cartoonists, and the judges were impressed with the solid work across the board — so much so they will be showcasing each cartoonist who entered, 1-2 each day, until the announcement on Sept. 22.

Check back on the AAEC news feed here beginning tomorrow.

LOCHER FELLOWSHIP

The AAEC John Locher Memorial Fellowship is awarded each year to one early-career cartoonist whose work demonstrates clear opinions and strong artistry on political and social topics. Deadline to be considered is the end of March.

The Locher Fellow will receive a one-year Regular membership in the AAEC, be a guest of the CXC Festival — held every fall in Columbus, Ohio — and have the opportunity to meet with editorial cartoonists during the year of the Fellowship for portfolio reviews and career advice.
