AusPop at the APL
While AusPop works to locate a new exhibit and event space, and the world continues to deal with COVID-19, we have teamed up with the Austin Public Library! APL is hosting a slimmed down version of our Once Upon a Time in Austin Exhibition on their website, and in fall 2021, when the library is, hopefully, reopened, a physical exhibition will be hosted at the downtown Central Library Branch. We also hope to be able to share pieces of AusPop’s collection with various local branches around Austin, so stay tuned for more info!
