Cartoon Art Museum
Our Mission
The Cartoon Art Museum’s key function is to preserve, document, and exhibit this unique and accessible art form. Through traveling exhibitions and other exhibit-related activities - such as artists-in-residence, lectures, and outreach - the museum has taken cartoon art and used it to communicate cultural diversity in the community, as well as the importance of self-expression.
