Austin Music Posters at the Witliff Collections
Poster artists in the late sixties, seventies, and early eighties visually evoked the sound and defined the culture of Austin just as the city was establishing itself as one of the most vital music scenes in the country. Distinct generations of design are vividly illustrated, including psychedelic art of the Vulcan Gas Company, early works from the Armadillo World Headquarters, an emerging variety of styles from the mid-1970s, and the radical visual aesthetic of punk. The Witliff Collections are located on the top floor of the Alkek Library at Texas State University in San Marcos.
“Walter Cronkite is Dead”
Crisscross Theatre presents “Walter Cronkite is Dead” at the Price Center in San Marcos on Jan. 24 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15. Ellen Massey and Nina Bryant star in this comedy by Joe Calarco. Forced together for a long night in a public place, two strangers have no choice but to share a bottle of wine and begin to talk... and to listen. Yes, Walter Cronkite is dead, but his wisdom and compassion lives on in this insightful comedy about what might be possible if people from opposite sides of the political aisle would stop shouting and take even one night to listen.
“The Face of Texas” Reception at the Witliff Collections
“The Face of Texas” salutes the individuality and independent spirit of Texans—from ordinary folk to the rich and famous—including those born here and those who eventually made Texas home. The program will feature a conversation between Wittliff director David Coleman and Michael O’Brien. The reception begins at Jan. 25 at 2 p.m. with the program at 2:30 and a book signing to follow. RSVP to [email protected] to receive further information.
