Guy Billout has been called the Buster Keaton of the illustration world. His works are funny, acrobatic feats of mental agility that challenge the laws of logic. His characters retain composure no matter what; impending doom does not unnerve them; and under the dark humor, optimism prevails. In 2015, Billout received the highest honor; he was inducted into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame.
Billout was born and educated in France and moved to Paris in the 1960s to work in advertising graphic design. He came to the U.S. in 1969 as an inexperienced illustrator with an improvised, unique portfolio, presented to Milton Glaser at New York magazine. Glaser loved his work and published it in its entirety.
For 24 years, Billout created a stand-alone page in The Atlantic magazine, in full color, with total editorial freedom. From 2001 to 2011, he illustrated articles in The New Yorker magazine by Seymour Hersh on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. His client list includes Esquire, Rolling Stone, Time, Newsweek, The Washington Post, and The New York Times, among others. He is the recipient of many awards, among them the Hamilton King Award and The New York Times “Ten Best Illustrated Children’s Books” for five years. At his Hall of Fame induction, Billout was described as “more than an illustrator, a compassionate poet of the absurd.”

SIN INDIFERENCIA – MEXICAN ART AND OBJECTS 1956-1973 FROM THE WCSU ARCHIVES’ COLLECTION: This exhibition of WCSU’s Mexican art and objects from 1956-1973 compels us to consider the theme of “otherness” through the lens of Mexican modernism, provenance, ancient aesthetics, and the power of art to bridge cultural divides. “Sin Indiferncia” or “Without Indifference” is the title of a sculpture in this exhibit by Mexican artist, Herbert Hofmann-Ysenbourg, and speaks to how WCSU looked past otherness and came to possess and preserve these objects.
The exhibition is open from Thursday, Oct. 2, through Sunday, Dec. 7. Gallery hours are Tues–Fri, noon to 4 p.m.; and Sat–Sun, 1 to 4 p.m. There will be an Opening Reception on Thursday, Oct. 2, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Gallery of the Visual and Performing Arts Center on the Westside campus.

Known for his powerful storytelling and dynamic performances, Reyes blends traditional Puerto Rican sounds with salsa, merengue, Latin jazz, and American folk influences. His music honors the richness of his heritage while also carrying messages of social justice, cultural pride, and community connection. As part of Hispanic Heritage Month, this performance is more than entertainment, it’s a celebration of identity, tradition, and the lasting contributions of the Hispanic community.
Reyes is a Bridgeport-born troubadour, songwriter, and storyteller whose music blends Puerto Rican folk traditions with rock, salsa, Latin jazz, and socially conscious themes. Drawing from his upbringing in Puerto Rico and experiences of identity, resilience, and justice, Reyes creates powerful songs that honor heritage while inspiring hope. Through projects like the Cosmic Jíbaros, Pasofino Social Club, and Novela Sin Tiempo, his work celebrates culture, community, and the courage to dream. His latest project, The Puerto Rican Song Book, uplifts the voices and history of Puerto Rican singer-songwriters, offering audiences both music and meaning.
