Offering fine, folky, and funky art, from the US, Canada and beyond, since 1995. Yard Dog Gallery is a unconventional gallery in Austin, Texas, that shows work by unconventional artists from the US & Canada. The gallery opened in 1995, showing folk and outsider art from the Deep South. We rather quickly began adding work by artists whose work we loved and wanted to show and that fit in aesthetically alongside what we were already showing, but who were neither folk/outsider artists nor from the Deep South. So we dropped the categories. We haven't called ourselves a folk art gallery for a long time but the world still seems to think of us that way. That's ok. We show the work of a number of artists who are also rather well-know musicians, including Jon Langford, Tom Russell, Bob Schneider, Ian McLagan, & Jad Fair. Other artists include Mike Egan, Brad & Sundie Ruppert, Kurt Herrmann, Scott Griffin, Bill Miller, Jennifer Harrison, Eric Bellis, Lamar Sorrento & more. Plus we still have a collection of Southern folk & outsider artists, including Jimmy Lee Sudduth, Mose Tolliver, Howard Finster, & Artist Chuckie Williams. We're located in the heart of the S. Congress Ave. shopping district -- a great place to spend some time.
Our goal is to create an awesome place where like-minded individuals can come at any time, 24/7 to meet, network, chill, study, work and most importantly collaborate. There’s a lot of enthusiasm by individuals who moonlight or are brave enough to turn down regular 9-5 jobs to work for themselves or to make small companies bigger. We want to bring that enthusiasm together so great people can form great teams to build great ideas which ultimately lead to great worlds.
at hubtattoo, we are dedicated to the principle goal of taking CARE of our clients. To truly care about your comfort, happiness, and long term satisfaction with our work. We strive daily to bring you the VERY BEST we have to offer in the creation of your custom body adornment. Our priorities lay in developing an ongoing relationship with each of our customers, and building a community within a community for the greater good of all.
The Old Bakery operates as a gift emporium that features diverse and unique handcrafts by local artisans 50 or older and serves as a visitor information center. In addition, the Bakery houses the Lundberg-Maerki Historical Collection depicting Austin’s transformation from a rustic frontier town to a modern, bustling and influential state capitol. Also, the 3rd floor Art Gallery spotlights works of fine art by adults 50 or older. The Old Bakery, a registered national landmark, has graced Congress Avenue since 1876, when it was built by Swedish immigrant Charles Lundberg. The building was used as a bakery till 1936, and after that for a variety of purposes. The Old Bakery was vacant, deteriorating and scheduled for demolition when it was rescued through the combined efforts of the Austin Heritage Society, which purchased the structure in 1963, and the Junior League, which donated $12,500 for restoration work. No alterations were made in the restoration work which included installing the rods on the second floor to strengthen the side walls. The giant oven and the wooden baker's spade remain as reminders of the building's history. In 1964, the Heritage Society began operating a Tourist Information Center and Coffee Kitchen at the site. When the mortgage was paid off in 1970, the Old Bakery was sold to the State of Texas. The state of Texas deeded the building and property to the City of Austin in 1980. The City of Austin Office of Bicentennial Affairs and the Texas Bicentennial Information Center occupied the building between July 1974 and September 1976. The Old Bakery and Emporium opened its doors in October, 1976, as a co-sponsored project of the Senior Programs Section of the Austin Parks and Recreation Department and the First Lady's Volunteer Program of the Texas Center for Volunteer Action.

William Sydney Porter rented this Queen Anne-style cottage in the early 1890s. Originally from Greensboro, North Carolina, he moved to Texas in his early 20s. In Austin, Porter worked day jobs as a draftsman in the General Land Office and as a teller at the First National Bank. In 1898, Porter was found guilty of embezzling money from the bank and was sentenced to five years in federal prison. There he embraced his pen name, O. Henry, and had time to write. Upon his release, he moved to New York, where he regularly published stories, among them “The Gifts of the Magi.” The house became a museum in 1934, and in 1999 it became a National Literary Landmark. Each year since 1978, the museum has hosted the Pun-Off World Championships, a wordplay competition that has received praise from CBS Sunday Morning, NPR, and The Paris Review. The museum offers an array of programming, including exhibits, events, and reading and writing workshops for adults and children. Visitors can enjoy free guided tours highlighting Porter’s extraordinary life, while learning about the history of Austin. The Museum is part of Brush Square Museums, three historic museums consisting of the Susanna Dickinson Museum, the O. Henry Museum, and the Austin Fire Museum. The Dickinson and O. Henry Museums assist in running the Austin Fire Museum, operated by the Austin Fire Museum Hook & Ladder Society. *********** All content and comments posted to this official City of Austin, Texas, Facebook site are subject to public disclosure laws.

The 1869 home of Joseph and Susanna Dickinson Hannig was saved and deeded to the City of Austin in 2003. Joseph Hannig built this home in 1869 for his new wife, Susanna Dickinson. She survived the Battle of the Alamo and carried the news of its fall to Sam Houston, which ultimately led to Houston's defeat of Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto and won independence for the Republic of Texas. For this deed, Susanna Dickinson became known as the "Messenger of the Alamo." Her home was saved, restored and opened as a museum on March 2, 2010, Texas Independence Day. The museum is the only remaining residence of Susanna Dickinson. The home is considered a “rubble-rock” house, a style of architecture brought to the Texas Hill Country by German immigrants. Inside the museum are rare Dickinson family artifacts, as well as furniture produced by Joseph. The couple lived in this house for six years, until 1875, at which point they moved into the area of town known as Hyde Park. Please stop by and let our docents show you the house and recount the vivid stories of the survivors of the Battle of the Alamo. The Museum is part of Brush Square Museums, three historic museums consisting of the Susanna Dickinson Museum, the O. Henry Museum, and the Austin Fire Museum. The Dickinson and O. Henry Museums assist in running the Austin Fire Museum, operated by the Austin Fire Museum Hook & Ladder Society. *********** All content and comments posted to this official City of Austin, Texas, Facebook site are subject to public disclosure laws.

Since 1992, the Texas Lottery has generated more than $24 billion in revenue for good causes in the state of Texas, including education, veterans' services and other important state programs. Through strict adherence to our vision, mission and core values, the Texas Lottery is dedicated to ensuring that these benefits continue. Since 1997*, the vast majority of Texas Lottery proceeds—totaling more than $19 billion—have been transferred to the state of Texas' Foundation School Fund supporting public education in Texas. In FY 2014, the Texas Lottery transferred $1.203 billion to the Foundation School Fund. Legislation was passed in 2009 directing the Texas Lottery to create and offer an instant scratch-off game for the benefit of the Fund for Veterans' Assistance administered by the Texas Veterans Commission. The Fund awards reimbursement grants to eligible charitable organizations, local government agencies, and Veterans Service Organizations that provide direct services to Texas veterans and their families. Over 90 percent of the revenue contributed to the Fund is derived from the sales of the Texas Lottery veterans' games. The first game was introduced in FY 2010 and since that time 12 additional games have been launched with the proceeds supporting the fund. Since the first veterans’ themed scratch ticket game was launched in 2009, the Texas Lottery has contributed more than $52 million for programs supporting Texas veterans. Other Texas Lottery funds, such as unclaimed prizes, contribute to other causes and programs as authorized by the Texas Legislature.
