Three cartoonists cited for “Advancing Democracy” with award

Speaking of Michael Ramirez, he is one of three editorial cartoonists — along with Gary Varvel and Mike Luckovich — who will be receiving the "Advancing American Democracy Award" next week.

All three will be bestowed with the honor as part of the The Mary Tucker Jasper Speaker Series held on Sept. 20 at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site in Indianapolis.

This year's program is called "Icons of Political Art," part of the Presidential Site's mission to "increase participation in the American system of self-government by sharing the life stories, arts, and culture of an American President."

LOCHER FELLOWSHIP

The AAEC John Locher Memorial Fellowship is awarded each year to one early-career cartoonist whose work demonstrates clear opinions and strong artistry on political and social topics. Deadline to be considered is the end of March.

The Locher Fellow will receive a one-year Regular membership in the AAEC, be a guest of the CXC Festival — held every fall in Columbus, Ohio — and have the opportunity to meet with editorial cartoonists during the year of the Fellowship for portfolio reviews and career advice.
