Celebrate ACL Day with Austin City Limits producers and the publishers of SCREEN TO SCREEN.

The event will begin with a reception from 6:30–7 p.m., followed by a panel conversation featuring Emily Bolf, Carolyn Connolly, and poster artists featured in the book. Tickets include a copy of SCREEN TO SCREEN and a reserved seat. Unreserved seats are available on a first come, first served basis. Free RSVPs are also encouraged.

About the book

From Billie Eilish to Cassandra Wilson, Elvis Costello to Pearl Jam, many of the world’s most beloved musicians have entertained us on Austin City Limits. And for the past couple of decades, each performance recorded on the ACL stage has inspired a special bonus: an original, eye-catching screen-printed poster, commissioned by the show’s producer, Austin PBS, and designed by some of their favorite graphic artists from all over the world.

SCREEN TO SCREEN celebrates the 50th anniversary of Austin’s premier gig, presenting every poster in brilliant full color alongside dazzling ACL concert photography and reminiscences from Neko Case, Leon Bridges, and other luminaries. Exciting, evocative, and always unique, the posters are accompanied by insightful creative discussion from several designers, including Mark Pedini and Diana Sudyka, and the book itself is designed by the award-winning, Austin-based firm Preacher Co. Introduced by long-time ACL producer Terry Lickona and with a foreword from Willie Nelson—whom you might remember from the pilot episode, taped half a century ago—this collection brings a piece of Austin and music history to life in vivid color.
