The South Austin Popular Culture Center (SAPCC) presents, exhibits, documents and interprets Austin art and culture of the past 50 years and makes that history accessible to local, national and international audiences. Our programs trace the evolution and the social context of Austin’s cultural production from the early 1960s through the present and interpret the local, state and national impact of the artists, art forms and recurrent themes that have profoundly shaped the city’s self-conception over the past fifty years.
COME SEE US: Thursday through Sunday 1 p.m. - 6 p.m. or by appointment and chance
