The Cartoon Art Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit institution dedicated to the collection, preservation and exhibition of original cartoon art in all its forms. The Museum encourages the appreciation of this original art form for it’s artistic, cultural, and historic merits.
Founded in late 1984 by a small group of cartoon art aficionados, The Cartoon Art Museum began as a traveling museum; exhibitions were installed in local museums and corporate spaces. In 1987, with an endowment from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz and from one of the founding trustees, Malcome Whyte, The Cartoon Art Museum was able to find an exhibition space in San Francisco’s downtown area in the historic Print Center Building. In December of 2001 the museum moved to its current location at 655 Mission Street.
Since then The Cartoon Art Museum has produced multiple exhibitions each year as well as numerous publications, each focused on one of the many facets of cartoon art. The permanent collection, comprised of over 6,000 original pieces of art, includes art from comic books, magazines, newspapers, advertisements, and animated movies, as well as sculpture and video. Works date from the 1730’s to the present.

Who I'd like to meet: The audience that visits the Cartoon Art Museum is diverse and comprised of people who love cartoon art, which cuts across all demographics, genres, nationalities and age groups.
Each year the Museum serves an audience of roughly 30,000 people from the San Francisco Bay Area, all over the United States as well as around the globe. This inherent diversity – and the cosmopolitan nature of the Museum's San Francisco home – is reflected in its exhibitions and programs, which celebrate the work of women cartoonists, minorities, and international artists.

This is a relief I sculpted a few years back
for my 3-D design class. The assignment was to design something from
the park and/or its surroundings. Since we were right there on the lake
front in Grant park, this was an obvious choice for me. ~S

To always anticipate “what would happen?” if something else doesn’t happen! could destroy our nurturing souls which have drifted away from their nature due to many un-natural distractions. B.K. Khatib Just a man 05 /09
It is the voice, the touch and the breath of the current energy that could take us to un-anticipated short journey which could not be witnessed, or planned, or lived any other time but at that moment of now.

About this page: I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D
