The Northwest Museum of Cartoon Arts (NWMOCA) is thrilled to announce its first major fundraiser, a $75,000 Kickstarter campaign set to run from April 2nd through May 7th. This campaign aims to finance the inaugural pop-up museum with an exhibit titled “Foundations of Pacific Northwest Cartooning,” curated by the esteemed Andrew Farago of the San Francisco Cartoon Arts Museum.
The pop-up exhibit promises to be an extraordinary showcase, featuring iconic Pacific Northwest-based cartooning legends, publishers, and studios. The venue will also house cartooning classes and community events focused on cartooning, comics, and animation. The expected venue will be the Lloyd Center in Portland—a location surrounded by a vibrant arts community, providing an ideal setting for an exceptional and visually stunning experience.
“Cartoon arts fans in the Pacific Northwest have asked for a place to celebrate and enjoy the power of cartoon arts which bring entertainment, education, and joy to fans worldwide,” says Mike Rosen, NWMOCA’s board chair. “Our Kickstarter campaign is the first step toward establishing a permanent home in Portland by 2025, and we are confident that the community’s support will propel us to success.”
As of May 3rd, this project has raised $10,500 of their $75,000 goal. This project has 4 days left to raise the $75,000 or it will not be funded. For a pledge of $5, you will get digital zines. For a pledge of $10, you will get one ticket. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nwmoca/kickstart-the-nw-museum-of-cartoon-arts-first-exhibit?
