Help Us Soundproof The Armory

We are always looking for ways to grow our community arts programming and YOU can help!  We are on a quest to raise $50,000 to soundproof the performance hall which would open up a whole new realm of possibilities for us by increasing the diversity in the kinds of shows and events we can host.  Interested in joining us to make that dream a reality?  All you have to do is make a tax-deductible donation and then we’ll do the rest!  Click here to make a difference to the local arts community.
