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. |

THE HOUSE SHOW:
309 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE EXHIBITION August 28 - November 29, 2026 Opening Reception Friday, August 28th, 5 PM Pensacola Museum of Art This exhibition features artists from the 2025 cohort of the 309 Punk Project Artist in Residence Program. Curated by Valerie George and Christopher Satterwhite, the exhibition brings together works made during each artist’s residency alongside select pieces gifted to the 309 Punk Archive, preserving their contributions as part of our community’s living history. The artists represented here work across photography, assemblage, printmaking, performance, puppetry, film, radio, illustration, music, collage and mixed media. While their practices are distinct, they share connections to independent culture, experimentation, storytelling, and community. Their work moves between the deeply personal and the collective, using art as a means of documenting experience, preserving histories, challenging dominant narratives, and creating new forms of connection.Throughout the 2025 residency year, found objects became vessels for memory and renewal, photography preserved underground histories and intimate experiences, and performance transformed identity and storytelling into shared encounters. Broadcasting, illustration, film, music, and DIY practices further expanded the ways these artists engaged with culture and community. Together, these works reflect the spirit of the 309 Punk Project Artist in Residence Program: a space where experimentation, subculture, collaboration, and lived experience are valued as vital forms of cultural production. Special thanks to the 2026 cohort of 309 Interns: Lucy Harrington, Audrey Hemmert, and Kayleigh Rose for their support in creating this exhibition. |
