Trebanjka Maja Kastelic (1981) je akademska slikarka in ilustratorka. Na Akademiji za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje v Ljubljani je diplomirala iz slikarstva, podiplomski študij pa nadaljevala na Fakulteti za humanistične študije v Kopru. Deluje kot samozaposlena v kulturi. Na področju ilustracije deluje od leta 2012. Njena prva avtorska slikanica Deček in hiša je ob izidu leta 2015 takoj navdušila tako bralce kot strokovno javnost in ji po uvrstitvi v elitni izbor ilustracij na sejmu otroških knjig v Bologni odprla vrata v tujino.
Sodeluje z raznimi založbami iz tujine, še vedno pa razveseljuje tudi slovenske otroke, na primer z novimi ilustracijami Korenčkovega palčka Svetlane Makarovič, ilustrirala je zgodbo Špelca Nadine Robert, tri knjige Braneta Mozetiča (Alja dobi zajčka, Prva ljubezen, Dežela bomb, dežela trav) … Redno sodeluje tudi z revijo Ciciban, razstavlja na samostojnih in skupinskih razstavah.
Na pogovornem večeru nam bo predstavila svoj proces ustvarjanja ilustracij, knjižni in ilustratorski opus zadnjih let, zadnjo avtorsko slikanico Povabilo, delo za slovenske in tuje založbe ter svoje mnenje o avtorski ilustraciji nekoč in danes. Pogovor bo vodila Patricija Tratar.
Nejc Erazem Draksler , učenec Glasbene šole Trebnje, pa bo obogatil dogodek z glasbo.
