In conjunction with an Austin History Center traveling exhibition of his hip-hop posters, Bobby Dixon sits down to discuss his work with local library attendees. Dixon’s work spans nearly two decades with print designs ranging from brand logos and activist slogans to illustrations for sports, music, streetwear, and screenprinting. As Kollective Fusion founder and Industry Print Shop creative director, Dixon offers myriad insights into the history of hip-hop postermaking as he’s produced many posters for local, national, and globally recognized acts. The poster exhibition runs until May 23. – James Scott

This program from the city of Austin, run by Farmshare Austin, has opened new market locations. There are now six weekly markets around town that sell Texas-grown produce, eggs, honey, and other groceries all at reduced prices. Most major cards are accepted at these markets and if you are a SNAP customer, you can also use your Lone Star card and Double Up Food Bucks. Locations and schedules are subject to change, so check the current info online to find one near you.

If dogs could drink, what would be their tipple of choice? My guess: a cold brewski on a good day, but a frozen daiquiri when they’ve had a tough one. Now, dogs cannot actually drink alcohol – not even Spuds MacKenzie – but you can sup for the pups by purchasing a Pawsport from Austin Humane Society. By dropping a crisp $25, you’ll be able to bring your dog along to Dog House Drinkery, MUTTS Canine Cantina Austin, Yard Bar, or the Watering Bowl, where they can run about an on-site dog park and you can get a free drink. Each bar earns you a Pawsport stamp, and all four stamps get you entered in pawsome prize giveaways. It’s no dog-safe daiquiri, but it’ll do until the science is there. – James Scott
