(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Award-winning editorial cartoonist Chuck Asay, who worked for The Gazette for over twenty years, is being honored with an exhibit.

Beginning March 6, Asay’s artwork will be on display at two Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) locations, the East Library and Library 21c. The exhibit, titled “The Names Change but Issues Stay the Same,” will feature over 30 of his cartoons and will be available for viewing through the end of March.

“I’ve long felt Chuck was an underappreciated Colorado Springs treasure, and I wanted to recognize his reach, impact, and accomplishments,” said local entrepreneur Jon Medved, who originally suggested the exhibit to PPLD.

In addition to his work for The Gazette, Chuck Asay worked for the Taos News, the Colorado Springs Sun, and briefly for The Denver Post. He retired in March of 2007. Since then, PPLD and Asay have worked together to digitize more than 10,000 of Asay’s cartoons and place them in the Library’s Regional History & Genealogy archives.

“Providing a home for Chuck’s collections in Colorado Springs is such a privilege for us as a library, but it is also such an important reflection of who we are as an institution—it is important that we preserve voices that speak to us from all kinds of angles,” said Erinn Barnes, PPLD Photo Archivist. “And it’s important that 100 years from now people can look back and see what we were dealing with in 1985 in terms of this community’s identity.”
