SUPPORT

WE NEED YOU.

WE CAN'T PRESERVE THIS PUNK COMMUNITY SPACE OR REIMAGINE ITS FUTURE WITHOUT RELYING ON EACH OTHER.
THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO GET INVOLVED.

We are fundraising. Always! Wanna help?
You can share some love right here.

Donate

We need art, t-shirts, zines, flyers, punk ephemera, videos and pictures to add to our 309 Punk 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

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 Project?

Hell Yeah

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 International 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 Grant to be awarded to a local DIY photographer.

309 Punk Project Plan in Five Phases

Phase I

In 2016, founding members of the 309 Punk Project began fundraising and to raise awareness of our mission.
worked to collect and archive ephemera from the Pensacola Punk community.

We operate as curators, exhibiting the ephemera collected thus far through collaborative curatorial projects and public programming. We are also artists and writers, creating original cultural products inspired by our collective histories.

Phase II

The house located at 309 North 6th Avenue, known as “309” was purchased from the former owners in Spring of 2019.
Our ultimate 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 grant funding.

Phase III

We began phase four with crucial structural renovations to the century old structure. These major renovations began in the Summer of 2019 and were completed in August, 2020.
The 309 Punk Project offers two upstairs rooms to the local community for fair, all-inclusive, rent with a renewable yearly lease.

Phase IV

Though COVID-19 unexpectedly forced us to delay the official opening of the space, we've rolled out a number of virtual programs to be as "open" as we can during the global pandemic without jeopardizing public health.

Phase V

We have diligently documented our beginnings so that we may prove our dedication to this project and procure grants and yearly fiscal support to fulfill our mission.

We still have a long way to go before we are stable, and fully operational.

We are excited to be in the process of assembling a Board of Directors and an Advisory Committee. We are reaching out to local and national folks who are committed to seeing us through these humble beginnings to a sustainable, and self-reliant non-profit organization.

We look forward to the support and accountability provided by the future 309 Punk Project Board of Directors and 309 309 Punk Project Advisory Committee.
