In 2009, the ToonSeum established its NEMO Award, given to notable individuals "for excellence in the cartoon arts". Recipients to date include veteran comic-book artist Ron Frenz,[4] editorial and comic-strip artist Dick Locher,[5] and comics artist, editorial cartoonist and artists' rights advocate Jerry Robinson.[6] In May 2013, ToonSeum hosted the two-day North American Conference of the National Cartoonists Society.[7] In that same month, plans for expansion of the museum were announced.[8]

On February 16, 2018, the ToonSeum announced on their Facebook page that they would close the physical location on Liberty avenue February 24, 2018 to focus on direct community outreach.[9]
