The University of West Florida’s College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities is proud to announce this year’s Gulf Coast Culture Series theme: Pensacola Noir. The Gulf Coast Culture Series is an evolution of the longstanding Experience UWF Downtown Lecture Series. Launched in 2024, GCC expands beyond lectures to celebrate the rich cultural tapestry of the U.S. Gulf Coast Region through events linked by yearly themes.

This year’s GCC theme, Pensacola Noir, is inspired by gritty crime fiction and film noir traditions and explores history, art and Southern Gothic storytelling through a mix of conversations, tours and lectures. By weaving together these themes, the series brings timely and thought-provoking conversations into the public sphere while highlighting the creative depth of the Gulf Coast region.
