Second Saturdays Are for Families

Reel Fun

Lights, camera, color! Join the Texas Archive of the Moving Image and Austin Public Library to create a collaborative movie masterpiece. Catch a screening of our community filmmaking at noon, 1 pm, 2 pm, and 2:45 pm. Then, illustrate your own cinematic souvenir.

Join us on the second Saturday of every month for a fun and creative art-making experience at The Contemporary Austin! The whole family is invited to explore new materials, techniques, and ideas together.

About Our Community Partners

The Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to discovering, preserving, and sharing Texas's film heritage. Through initiatives like the Texas Film Round-Up, they provide free digitization of Texas-related films and videos, including home movies, local news footage, student films, advertisements, educational films, and other archival materials. A curated selection of this content is accessible for free at TexasArchive.org, offering valuable insights into the state's history and culture for researchers, educators, and the general public.
 

The award-winning Austin Public Library (APL) has been the community’s premier source of knowledge, technology, and inspiration for nearly a century. It provides library programs, technology, collections, and space through its state-of-the-art Central Library, Austin History Center, and 20 library branches. It also provides services and resources out in the community through outreach and partnerships.
