Charles Addams Student Cartoon Contest
Celebrating Charles Addams’ success as a Westfield High School alumnus, current Westfield middle and high school students created Addamseque cartoons inspired by a variety of themes, including his 1929 WHS Weathervane yearbook entry, which read, “He much amazed us.” And he still does!
Judges include:
-
Felipe Galindo, New Yorker Cartoonist
-
Linda Davis, Addams biographer and author of Chas Addams: A Cartoonist’s Life
-
Ricardo Roig, Westfield-based artist and muralist
-
Ron MacCloskey, Charles Addams historian
The top 25 submissions will be displayed in a joint exhibit with original Charles Addams artwork from October 15-23 at The James Ward Mansion, with an opening reception to be held on October 15.
