ToonSeum: Pittsburgh Museum of Cartoon Art is a museum devoted exclusively to the cartoon arts, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[1] ToonSeum is one of three museums dedicated to cartoon art in the United States.[2] ToonSeum moved to its own gallery space on Liberty Avenue in Pittsburgh's downtown Cultural District on November 8, 2009, aided by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.[1][2]
In 2009, the ToonSeum established its NEMO Award, given to notable individuals "for excellence in the cartoon arts". Recipients to date include veteran comic-book artist Ron Frenz,[3] editorial and comic-strip artist Dick Locher,[4] and comics artist, editorial cartoonist and artists' rights advocate Jerry Robinson.[5] In May 2013, ToonSeum hosted the two day North American Conference of the National Cartoonists Society.[6] In that same month, plans for expansion of the museum were announced.[7] Joe Wos stepped down from the ToonSeum in 2014.[8]
