The Carle Honors 2019

Last week, at the 14th Annual Carle Honors in New York City, it was wonderful to celebrate the 2019 Carle Honorees! Congratulations to Takeshi Matsumoto, Chihiro Art Museum, Melissa Sweet, David Saylor and Kenny Garcia, REFORMA.

It was a magical evening with many friends, delicious food and even a surprise visit from The Very Hungry Caterpillar himself! Thank you to all who attended and to the Museum staff for your exceptional work again this year!
