Despite what some might term the “frivolous” nature of my job, I consider myself an artist, and cartoons, art.

Mel Blanc

Since 2007, the Oregon Cartoon Institute has asked the question “What is Oregon about Oregon Art?”

On this site, you will find responses in the form of blogs, artwork, multi-media projects, digital humanities, and in print form.

We publish zines on the Oregon Zine Machine.

We build diverse communities of artists with our Oregon Cartoon Project.

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your donations are tax-deductible to the extent tax law allows.
