Comic Creators Project at the Cartoon Museum

Comic Creators Project at the Cartoon Museum The Comic Creators Project enables the Cartoon Museum to purchase and exhibit a large number of original pages of comic artwork by British artists.

The Cartoon Museum is the only museum in Britain dedicated to collecting and displaying original British cartoons and comics. Over the last ten years, thanks mainly to the generosity of many artists and artists’ families, the Cartoon Museum’s collection of original comic artwork has grown. However there remains a number of significant gaps which are only bridged by loans from artists and private c

ollectors. The Comic Creators project will enable the museum to purchase a large number original pieces of comic artwork for the Cartoon Museum collection and develop exhibitions, activities and events which will share Britain’s comic heritage with a wider public, not just in London but across the country.The Cartoon Museum is delighted to announce that it has been awarded £164,300 for its Comic Creators project by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The project is part of HLF’s £5m funding package to a range of museums, libraries and archives across the UK. Under HLF’s Collecting Cultures programme, 23 organisations, from Glasgow down to Brighton, will be able to enhance the scope of their collections and the Cartoon Museum is one of them.

Over the last fourteen years, the Cartoon Museum’s collection of original comic artwork has grown. This is complemented by loans from artists and private collectors. The Comic Creators project has enabled the museum to purchase a large number original pieces of comic artwork for the Cartoon Museum collection and develop exhibitions, activities and events which share Britain’s comic heritage with a wider public, not just in London but across the country. In 2015, the Cartoon Museum was awarded £164,300 for its Comic Creators Project by the National Heritage Lottery Fund (NHLF).
