Cartoonists and cartoon lovers unite!

The Center for Cartoon Studies and its wonderful community need you!

As they celebrate their 20th anniversary, The Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS) is renovating the Old Telegraph Building in downtown White River Junction. The renovated building will include a state-of-the-art production lab for schoolwork, self-publishing, and community projects, along with many other fully accessible amenities for future generations of cartoonists to thrive!

I'm helping CCS fundraise to complete this exciting project, and I invite you to join me.

I've been very fortunate to be part of the CCS community for over a decade, since first moving to Vermont from South Carolina in 2015 to join the MFA program. I never imagined that my day-to-day life would be surrounded by cartoonists of all types, coming to CCS with the hopes of bringing their craft to the next level. I saw that as a student and I see that even now as a member of the administrative staff. The telegraph renovation project has been a long time in the making and I can't tell you how excited I am to see it heading into the final stages.

And I must admit, as the person whose office is in the Colodny basement, how thrilled I am to be moving above ground to an office with a window!

Your gift - big or small - will make a difference, and will help CCS:

- Secure a fully accessible, above-ground campus.

- Expand programs that serve students, educators, and the public.

- Revitalize a long-vacant and dilapidated historic building.

- Strengthen downtown vitality and the regional economy.

- Advance the field of cartooning.

- Empower future generations of artists.

Let's keep the ink flowing!
