About us
From editorial cartoons to comic books, graphic novels to anime, Sunday funnies to Saturday morning cartoons, the Cartoon Art Museum has something for everyone. Based in San Francisco, the museum is home to over 7,000 pieces of original and cartoon and animation art and sponsors book signings, lectures, cartooning classes or workshops throughout the year. The Cartoon Art Museum’s mission is 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. Our vision is to be the premier destination to experience cartoon art in all its many forms from around the world, and a leader in providing insight into the process of creating it. With insightful exhibitions, programs and educational activities — such as artists-in-residence, lectures and cartooning classes — the museum has taken cartoon art and used it to communicate cultural diversity in the community, as well as the importance of self-expression.
