“This increased accessibil­ity has deepened the Schulz Museum’s mission to share the legacy of Peanuts and to build an understand­ing of the world of cartooning. We are hearing from members and fans from New York, Tokyo, and beyond about how grateful they are for the lightheart­ed distractio­n during this difficult time. It gives fans a chance to connect with Schulz’s artwork in a new way — all from the comfort of their home.”

— Education Director Jessica Ruskin

In the age of working and schooling from home, fitting in time for live online events can be a juggling act. A new online offering from the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center provides access to interactiv­e programs available around the clock and the world. Schulz Museum On-Demand features pay-toview video recordings of some of the Museum’s most popular events, from the How to Draw Peanuts series to discussion­s with popular cartoonist­s.

“We are so excited to share online art instructio­n taught by profession­al cartoonist­s from Charles Schulz’s own studio,” said Education Director Jessica Ruskin. “And now these events can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere.”

Viewers can browse the on-demand events on the Schulz Museum’s website (schulzmuse­um.org/ schulz-museum-on-demand) and purchase temporary access to the recordings to enjoy at their leisure. All recordings are $5 for members and $7 for non-members for one week from the purchase date.

The featured events include crowd favorites such as How to Draw Snoopy and How to Draw Charlie Brown, which provide step-by-step drawing instructio­n for all skill levels and ages led by Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates artists and cartooning profession­als.

“This increased accessibil­ity has deepened the Schulz Museum’s mission to share the legacy of Peanuts and to build an understand­ing of the world of cartooning,” said Ruskin. “We are hearing from members and fans from New York, Tokyo, and beyond about how grateful they are for the lightheart­ed distractio­n during this difficult time.
