See you at ACL Live for the ONA18 Opening Night Reception!

Join ONA for the ONA18 Opening Night Reception at Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater on Sept. 13. Catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and relax while you enjoy drinks and appetizers at one of Austin’s best venues.

Thanks to the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Facebook for their generous support of this event.

ACL Live hosts about 100 concerts a year and serves as the permanent set for the acclaimed KLRU-TV produced PBS series, Austin City Limits, the longest running music series in American television history. You’ll have access to the entire space during the reception, including the main stage, galleries and plenty of indoor and covered outdoor spaces to network with other attendees. Don’t miss the Keller Pfluger Gallery, featuring the photography of longtime Austin City Limits photographer, Scott Newton. On the balcony level, you can explore the “Jack & Jim” Gallery, the largest exhibition of works from legendary photographer Jim Marshall, including images of Johnny Cash’s performances at the Folsom Prison and the San Quentin Prison. It’s a special year to view the exhibition — 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Johnny Cash concert at Folsom Prison.

Guests at the ONA18 Opening Night Reception will be able to explore the theater and its two photo exhibits.

This event is open to all ONA18 attendees with full conference passes. Be sure to bring your badge. Exhibit-only and Midway-only ONA18 pass-holders can purchase advance tickets for $50, but non-conference attendees and guests are not permitted. Please consult your ONA partnership coordinator to purchase tickets to this event via the ONA18 Partner Service Center. Contact registration@journalists.org with any questions.
