Museum of Comic & Cartoon Art
Source

The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art, also known as MoCCA, was a non-profit arts organization based in New York City. It was dedicated to the celebration and preservation of comic books, comic strips, and other forms of cartoon art. Although the physical location of the museum has closed, its legacy continues through various events and programs.

MoCCA Fest: A Celebration of Independent Comics

One of the most notable events organized by the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art is the annual small-press comic convention, known as MoCCA Fest. This event, which first took place in 2002, showcases independent comics and features hundreds of creators and publishers. It is a great opportunity for comic enthusiasts to explore new works and engage with the community.

MoCCA's New Home: The Society of Illustrators

In 2012, the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art announced that it would be transferring its assets to the Society of Illustrators. This move provided MoCCA with a street-level location in the Society's building located in the Upper East Side of New York City. This allows for the continuation of MoCCA's mission and programs in a new setting.
