Over at his blog, Neil Gaiman mentioned the Cartoon Art Museum's
Coraline exhibition. If you're in the Bay Area and want to see some really cool stuff, please drop by the museum sometime in the next three weeks and check out real-live puppets from the upcoming stop-motion feature, plus loads of 2-D concept art.
If you really enjoy it, and want to support what we're doing (including the our Gene Colan retrospective, our upcoming Stan Sakai retrospective, and our sure to be mind-blowingly cool Watchmen exhibition), please consider
becoming a Cartoon Art Museum member, donating additional money, or otherwise lending your support to the museum. You can also join the museum's
Facebook group and donate money there, if you're so inclined. If you're already a supporter, please let your friends know about us.
Funding for the museum is particularly precarious right now due to decreased attendance, fewer and less frequent individual donations, fiercer competition for grants and other effects of the current economic downturn. If you're expecting money back from the IRS this year, if you've got a guilty conscience that you want to assuage through giving to charitable organizations, if you've got a little extra cash in your pocket, or if you just plain love the art form, please consider donating to the Cartoon Art Museum--and soon.
Thanks for your consideration.
