Visit Us

Nestled in the vibrant center of Pensacola, Quayside Art Gallery beckons you to experience art firsthand. Feel the pulse of the community, connect with its history, and be part of the ongoing narrative. Our gallery is located in a historic building constructed in 1873, which previously served as the headquarters and social center for the Germania Steam Fire Engine and Hose Company. Today, it remains much as it was when it housed the Marie Louise, a 2.5-ton horse-drawn steam pumping engine.
