Though relatively short-lived Space City! is widely acknowledged as one of the best of the 60s-70s underground newspapers.

The event will include a pop-up exhibit of original clip art used in the production of the paper and a panel discussion with the paper’s creators. Join us for this look back on the historical importance of the paper and to add a new perspective on contemporary issues. The new book will be available for purchase at the Museum’s bookstore.

Panel discussion at 7pm.
