The exhibition will be on view from November 17 through December 15, 2018 at the SVA Chelsea Gallery, 601 West 26th Street, 15th floor, New York City. An opening reception will be held at the gallery on Thursday, November 29, 6:00 , 8:00pm. The exhibition and opening are free and open to the public. RSVPs not accepted or required.

Chast’s work has appeared in numerous magazines through the years, including The Village Voice, National Lampoon, Scientific American, Harvard Business Review, Redbook and Mother Jones, but she is most closely associated with The New Yorker. In addition to hundreds of cartoons and illustrated essays, she has created some 10 covers for the publication, and her nervous sense of humor and energetic style has become intrinsic to its identity.
