We are fundraising. We hope to raise a little money that will help us hire a skilled grant writer for non-profit entities like ourselves.  Wanna help?

We are trying to organize a nation wide fundraising network of punks who believe in us. Would you be willing to host a fundraising event in your town that would support 309 Punk Museum? 

Hell Yeah

We need art, t-shirts, zines, flyers, punk ephemera, videos and pictures to add to our 309 Punk Museum Archive. ​If it was made there or has any sort of relationship to 309, we would love to add it to our collection.   Have anything that you would love to see preserved with care? 

Send  it on

What we need more than anything is visibility. You can help us so much just by spreading the word. 

If you have any skills that could help us with any phase of this project, please let us know.
​We want to stay as DIY as possible and are open to support in any form. 

309 Punk Museum Project Plan in Four Phases

---

Phase I

Members of the 309 Punk Museum Project have been working to collect and archive ephemera from the Pensacola Punk community.
We have also been operating as curators, exhibiting the ephemera collected thus far in public exhibitions. We also function as artists, creating original public art derived from our collective histories.
We organize educational workshops, community events, and exhibitions on the topics of punk culture and DIY approaches to creating music, zines, art and subculture as a whole.

Phase II

The purchase of the house located at 309 North 6th Avenue, known as “309”. 309 is currently owned by Michelle and JP MacNeil, who are willing to sell the house for $145, 000. Our goal is to buy 309 outright with money we’ve raised through various fundraising strategies, from online crowdsourcing, requests for donations from wealthier investors, and grants. 

Estimated  date of purchase between March 2018 and March 2019.

Phase III

The second phase starts with several needed renovations. 309 is over a century old and needs work to make it sustainable, both as a long-term residence but more importantly as a museum open to the public. At a minimum, the house will need foundation work and termite damage repair, (approx. 15k); eletrical re-wiring (approx. 10k); an allover re-plumb (approx. 7k); opening of the downstairs bathroom to link with front room to make the bathroom ADA compliant, along with a ramp for the side of the house for ADA compliance (approx. 5k); HVAC unit installed as the archive will need climate control (approx. 7k); as well as general renovations throughout the house for cleanliness and upkeep (approx. 5k).

Estimated completion date: June 2020

Phase IV

The opening of the Museum. The main area would serve as a gallery/lecture/show space. The back room downstairs would function as a recording studio. A bedroom downstairs would function as a caretaker’s room. Upstairs backroom would be the curator’s room. Upstairs balcony room would be for an Artist-in-Residence. Open space upstairs to function as an archival space. Downstairs front room will be the main office and gift shop for the 309 Punk Museum.

Estimated completion date: August 2020
