Description

Kick off the PMA’s week-long celebration of Vandals to Vanguards with this exhibition opening block party. Join us inside the museum and outside on Jefferson Street for a night of art-making, food, drink, and festivity. San Francisco based artist, Jeremy Novy, will be painting live on the street during the Block Party!

Vandals to Vanguards is 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 free and open to the public, thanks to grant funding as part of Pensacola’s annual Foo Foo Festival.
