Illustrator Paula Alenda will inaugurate this edition on Thursday, May 21, at Casa Bardin, at 7 PM. A spokesperson for the Provincial Council expressed the entity's pride in supporting, for the third consecutive year, an initiative that promotes illustration and comic books, disciplines in which the province excels and provides visibility to professionals.

The meetings will continue on Saturday, May 23, with illustrators Arly Jones, Ana María Muñoz, Fran Ferriz, and Gema Over. A spokesperson noted that, once again, four great artists from different disciplines are brought together, maintaining gender parity in the selection. The activities, which require prior registration, will be held at Casa Mediterráneo, with four morning and four afternoon sessions, distributed from 10 AM to 12 PM, 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM, 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM, and 6 PM to 8 PM, plus two additional sessions from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM and 6:30 PM to 8 PM.

Continuing with the format of the first edition, each illustrator will give two masterclasses at specially equipped tables with the necessary materials, fostering direct contact with registered attendees. The IAC director clarified that these are not conferences or workshops, but rather an exchange of experiences where artists discuss their careers and working methods with an audience that can also participate with questions or by showcasing their own work.

The Gil-Albert initiative is in its third year, and thirteen illustrators have already participated, including figures such as Miguel Calatayud, a three-time National Illustration Award winner, Pablo Auladell and Javier Sáez Castán, also recognized with this award, as well as Paco Sáez, a Goya winner; Ana Oncina, who received second prize at the Manga Awards, and Amelia Navarro, a Ficómic award winner.
