Description

The PMA is taking over Vinyl Music Hall for a one-night only special event that merges music, video projections, live street art demos and interactive artmaking. Meant to evoke the infamous parties at Andy Warhol’s Factory, guests will dance to the tunes of DJ DocRoc and try their hand at printmaking. Come dressed in your best 70s or 80s attire, silver and sparkles are encouraged!

As a connection to Warhol’s well-known soup cans, the PMA will also be collecting canned food donations to benefit Manna Food Pantries at the event.

This event is presented in conjunction with Vandals to Vanguards, the premiere art experience in Northwest Florida this fall. Occupying the museum’s entire second floor, the exhibition will feature contemporary masterpieces by pop favorites like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring alongside current notorious street artists like Banksy and Mr. Brainwash. The exhibition examines how several icons of modern art found success by rebelling against the prevailing sentiments of the art world and seeking a more democratic form of artistic expression. Starting in the 1960s with pop art’s radical use of commonplace images from advertising and entertainment, Vandals to Vanguards illustrates how generations of artists have recycled and remixed concepts and themes to continually advance and question the boundaries of fine art.

This event is part of Pensacola’s annual Foo Foo Festival as a grant recipient.
