SF's Cartoon Art Museum's "Pay What You Wish" Day (First Tuesdays)

"Founded in 1984, the Cartoon Art Museum has something for everyone-from comic strips, comic books and anime to political cartoons, graphic novels and underground comix. People of all ages can view original cartoon art at exhibitions and screenings, produce their own comics and animation at classes and workshops, research deeply into our collection and library, and mix and mingle with professional and aspiring cartoonists. This unique institution houses approximately 7,000 original pieces in our permanent collection and attracts more than 30,000 visitors annually."

"Pay What You Wish Days create affordable experiences for all to ignite imaginations and foster the next generation of visual storytellers by celebrating the history of cartoon art, its role in society, and its universal appeal with a visit to the Cartoon Art Museum. Set your own admission price and find inspiration through viewing original art, exploring the reading room or enjoying family-oriented activities in their kids corner."

"The vision is to be the premier destination to experience cartoon art in all its many forms from around the world, and a leader in providing insight into the process of creating it. Through exhibitions, artist appearances, and community outreach programs, the museum demonstrates how cartoon art entertains, communicates diversity, and champions self-expression. Opened to the public at its new location in the fall of 2017, with a breathtaking view of the San Francisco Bay, the Cartoon Art Museum at 781 Beach Street"
