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

Thorne Dreyer of Rag Radio on KOOP, 91.7 FM talks with Leea Mechling and Henry Gonzalez of the South Austin Popular Culture Center. In the hour-long interview, they “discuss Austin culture since the 60s and 70s; its history of exhibitions featuring major graphic and poster artists; and the Memorial Wall featuring fallen heroes of Austin and Texas culture. We also remember the unique early rock and roll scene in Austin, especially the iconic Armadillo World Headquarters — and the graphic art that evolved with it.” (Click here for the original link.)

    Wow it was great hearing Henry and Leeha’s voice again the last time i saw or heard them when i was 16. they were the best neighbors ever. Henry was my inspiration for becoming a graphic artist. our styles are the oposites of each other but I’ll never forget that amazing painting of Stevie ray vaughan that was in their den.

    thanks guy for all the great memories
