Twenty-five years ago, the way we enjoyed cartoons changed forever when Cartoon Network launched as the very first twenty four-hour network dedicated to animation. To celebrate this incredible milestone, Cartoon Network and The Paley Center for Media will present Cartoon Network: 25 Years of Drawing on Creativity. This exclusive exhibit will premiere at the Paley Center's New York location on September 16, and will run through October 8. At the conclusion of The New York run, the exhibit will open at the Paley Center's Beverly Hills location on October 14, and will run until November 19.
Visitors will experience the creative process from sketch to screen and beyond with an in-depth look at Steven Universe, tour special exhibits including stop-motion sets from Adventure Time, and photo ops with sculptures from THE POWERPUFF GIRLS and Cartoon Network's newest hit O.K. KO! Let's Be Heroes!
"It was a crazy idea to start, but a crazy good idea that led to twenty-five years of laughter and innovation," said Cartoon Network President Christina Miller. "We are very thankful to our talent, team and, of course, our fans. We are proud to be celebrating this milestone with Paley Center."
"We're thrilled to welcome visitors into the visually exciting world of Cartoon Network," said Maureen J. Reidy, the Paley Center's President & CEO. "Cartoon Network: 25 Years of Drawing on Creativity is one of the many exhibits the Paley Center presents each year that capture the unique combination of artistry and entertainment."
In addition to the amazing immersive activities, the Paley Center will host screenings and panel discussions with Cartoon Network talent and creative teams at both Paley Center locations. All these activities and admission are free and open to the public.
