2023 Artists-in-Residence Exhibition

The 309 House Show is an annual group exhibition curated by Valerie George, Sean Linezo, and Christopher Satterwhite featuring work donated by artists who participated in the 309 Artist-in-Residence Program. 

This year’s show features the 2023 residents and includes work by Julia Arredondo, Cori Bush, Cindy Crabb, Cookies & Cake, Kim Darling, Jimbo Easter, Felicia E. Gail, Roscoe Hall, WM Johnson, Eli Lehrhoff, Dev Murphy, Jenny Price, and Panhandle Slim. Additional contributions include work by Heather Proskovec and Cleopatra Redbird.

This exhibition consists of artists from a myriad of cultural backgrounds and is diverse in race, class, sexual orientation, and gender. Their work covers topics ranging from queer and trans advocacy,  cancer, cultural heritage, the celebration of lost local icons, Black resistance and rebellion, and social practices ranging from collaborative sound collage, visual art community projects, and creating (and collecting) ephemera for a local annual DIY music festival.

The 309 Punk Project is the only artist-run nonprofit organization in the South committed solely to archiving the creative efforts of our region’s punk/DIY culture. It is our primary goal to serve the local and regional community as an archive, residency, and venue for divergent practices in DIY culture and contemporary art that critically examines the sociopolitical cultural moment that is shaping all of our lives. 

The 309 Punk Archive is preserved to inspire research and creative practice from our collective histories currently preserved in the archive. We also use the archive to curate traveling exhibitions to raise awareness of our creative culture. We work to extend the reach of our audience while diversifying our voice in the punk community. The Archive serves and represents the marginalized, queer, anti-racist, artistic DIY radical countercultural voice to America’s Deep South narrative that has persisted and continues to persist to this day. The Archive consists mainly of Pensacola and regional punk ephemera, music, and DYI art but has also been gifted national and global pieces. The Archive inspires research and creative practice from our collective histories.
