Cartoon Art Museum Shelter-In-Place Fundraising Auction

The Cartoon Art Museum Shelter-In-Place Fundraising Auction is closed. Thank you for your support.

The Cartoon Art Museum's galleries were locked down following Governor Newsom's statewide order back in March, and our staff took immediate steps to adapt, developing online exhibitions, workshops, and conferences, sharing resources with other institutions, and seeking alternative sources to offset the revenue lost from our temporary closure.

Members of the creative community have stepped up to help the Cartoon Art Museum and offer assistance during these uncertain times, and many cartoonists offered original art for the museum's forthcoming Shelter-In-Place Fundraising Auction. Comic book artists, graphic novelists, comic strip artists, and animators have contributed artwork from their own archives for this ongoing online auction, which will help us continue our mission to ignite imaginations and foster the next generation of visual storytellers by celebrating the history of cartoon art, its role in society, and its universal appeal.

Featured artists include John “Derf” Backderf (Kent State), Alison Bechdel (Fun Home), Terri Libenson (The Pajama Diaries), Maria Scrivan (Nat Enough), Doug Sneyd (Playboy), Gene Luen Yang (Dragon Hoops), with many more to be announced.

The first auction will commence Thursday, August 27th, 2020 on the Cartoon Art Museum's eBay page, https://www.ebay.com/usr/cartoonartmuseum, and new items will be listed weekly.

Thanks to the CAF community for your continued support of the Cartoon Art Museum!
