Blackhawk Museum

Internationally acclaimed wildlife artist and conservationist John Banovich returns to the Blackhawk Museum for our Spring Speaker Series. Many visitors will recognize Banovich from the video currently playing just outside our World of Nature gallery, he played an instrumental role in the creation of the exhibit, and we’re thrilled to welcome him back.
Known for his large-scale, dramatic portrayals of iconic wildlife and his deep commitment to conservation, Banovich has spent decades traveling the globe documenting endangered species and the wild places they call home. He is also the founder of the Banovich Wildscapes Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to habitat protection and wildlife conservation worldwide.
Join us for an inspiring morning as Banovich shares stories from his recent adventures around the world, offers a behind-the-scenes look at his artistic process, and explores what drives his lifelong dedication to the natural world.
This is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand from one of the leading voices in wildlife art and conservation. Don’t miss it.
This event is included with Museum admission.

The Alamo Farmers' Market is very excited for the arrival of our newest coffee vendor, SILQ COFFEE starting this Sunday (May 24th). Owner Monijeh “Monica” Khoja Herawi created Silq Coffee from a simple belief that coffee is more than a drink, it's a moment of connection. Built while balancing school, work, and supporting my family, Silq Coffee began as a way to build something meaningful and lasting. What started as an idea has grown with the help of family and the community around it, becoming something shared.
Inspired by the Silk Road, Silq Coffee brings together tradition, culture, and community. With thoughtfully sourced ingredients and beans roasted in collaboration with a private roaster, each cup is an invitation to pause, connect, and share in something meaningful.
Their goal is to create spaces that feel warm, inclusive, and multi-generational, where conversations flow, ideas are exchanged, and people feel seen. As they grow, they hope to build more than a coffee brand, but a community rooted in connection, culture, and shared experiences."

Let’s show our newest vendor to the market a little love as we truly appreciate all our vendors!
