We are fundraising. Always! Wanna help?
​You can share some love right here.
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? 
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? 
What we need more than anything is visibility. You can help us so much just by spreading the word. 
Donations and Grants are used to:

  • Offer stipend supported residency opportunities for both established and emerging artists and zine writers to mount exhibitions and/or create self published works
 
  • Sustain an Artist in Residency Program that serves ​all​ of our community and gives voice to underrepresented creative populations (LGBTQ+, Female and Female Identifying, all people of color, etc.)
 
  • Mount experimental exhibitions that feature regional, national and global contemporary DIY art from both the established and emerging artists participating in the Artist in Residency Program
 
  • Program workshop and/or educational community events surrounding and led by each Artist in Residence Participant or our DIY local community 
 
  • Purchase of archival storage materials for donations to the 309 Punk Archive

  • Supplement our Julia Gorton Photography Award to be given to a regional photographer whose work focuses on empowering people who identify as female.


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, Residency Program and Archive.
Begin to host Public events at the site.

Estimated completion date: August 2020
