Exhibition Opening: Tequila Mockingbirds Punk Museum

Join us, Tequila Mockingbird, punks, Artists, partners, and friends on Thursday, August 27th 2026 from 7:00-9:30 PM for the opening reception & Artist Talk for the multimedia exhibition TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD'S PUNK MUSEUM. 
  
Drawn from the extensive archive of artist, curator, and long-time punk historian Tequila Mockingbird, this immersive exhibition showcases an extraordinary collection of punk art, memorabilia, photographs, flyers, zines, posters, records, and rare ephemera that trace the evolution of one of the city’s most influential cultural movements, even drawing connections to the punk scenes in Europe and Germany.
Accompanied by a series of events including film screenings, discussions, and more, Tequila Mockingbird’s Punk Museum serves as a space for artists, musicians, fans, and community to gather and celebrate the creativity, DIY ethos, and enduring legacy of the LA punk scene—from its underground beginnings to its continued impact on art, music, fashion, and activism today. Whether you are an old-school punk or simply punk-curious, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the energy, irreverence, creative energy, and cultural history of punk up close.
