2026 marks our Tenth anniversary
|
Founded in 2016, 309 Punk Project began as a house, an archive, and a belief in the power of DIY culture to build community. What started as a small, collaboratively-run experiment in Pensacola has grown into a nationally recognized nonprofit supporting artists, musicians, writers, and organizers working at the intersection of punk ethos, contemporary art, and lived experience. As we mark ten years, we celebrate the artists, residents, volunteers, neighbors, and collaborators who have shaped 309 into what it is today. This anniversary is not just a reflection on where we’ve been, but a recommitment to the work ahead, in continuing to create space for experimentation, preservation, and collective imagination for years to come. |

309 AIR Closing Exhibition

Closing Exhibition for May AIR Jaime Diffee
Friday, May 29th 5-8pm Join us for Jaime Diffee's Closing Exhibition. We cannot wait to see the work Jaime has created during her residency. Jaime Diffee is a Pensacola-based artist and museum professional currently serving as Preparator and Curatorial Coordinator at the Pensacola Museum of Art. In this role, they oversee exhibition installation and maintenance, collection care, and day-to-day museum operations. Their practice employs traditional oil painting techniques to examine contemporary subject matter, often bringing the human form and animal imagery into close, sometimes uneasy proximity. Through this approach, Diffee creates work that is darkly humorous and emotionally complex while remaining rooted in careful observation and painterly skill. |
