The Eye of the Beholder(s): Art, Games, and Adventures Through 50 Years of D&D
On the occasion of the extraordinary exhibition Gateway to Adventure - 50 Years of D&D Art, we gather for a panel that is not just a celebration of the art of Dungeons & Dragons but also an opportunity to explore the evolution of a visual imagination that has defined fantasy over the past fifty years. Leading us on this journey will be Jon Peterson and Jessica Lee Patterson, curators of the exhibition and deep connoisseurs of D&D's history. They will be joined by artists Erol Otus, a legend of the old school, and Tyler Jacobson, one of the leading figures of the new generation.
