5X5Y: 25 years of SXSW exhibit now open
Tim Hamblin and the Austin History Center have been working for months on an exhibit that marks 25 years of South by Southwest. 5X5Y: 25 Years of SXSW Music is on display in the main hallway of the center at 810 Guadalupe Street and will run until July 31.
But the official kick off will be Saturday March 5 at 4 p.m., with a panel discussion with SXSW co-founders Roland Swenson and Louis Black, moderated by Joe Nick Patoski.
Then, at 6:00 p.m. a free concert begins on the north steps of the Austin History Center, featuring Schmillion and Why Not Satellite. Ninth Street from Guadalupe to San Antonio Streets will be closed for the concert.
After dark, a free double feature movie presentation in Woolridge Park will feature a preview of “Outside Industry: The Story of SXSW,” an upcoming documentary, followed by “The Friendly City,” a recently restored 1943 Chamber of Commerce film in the Austin History Center’s film collection.
It’s all free and open to the public.
