The Center for the Arts at the Armory
The mission of Arts at the Armory is to provide an inclusive and accessible venue for arts, cultural and community events, exhibitions, markets, classes and more.
Update: 1/28/2015, 8:45 AM
The building is open, the parking lot has been plowed, the sidewalks and walkways are being cleared as I write this, and the Cafe is open with coffee brewing and croissants baking – yum!
Some activities today may still be cancelled or rescheduled – see list below or check with your event organizer / class teacher before making the trek in. But we’re going to try to get in as much “normal” as we can before the next round of snow arrives.
Hope to see you soon!
Update 1/27/2015, 7:15 PM: The Cafe should be open again by mid-morning on Wednesday. (Maybe earlier, depending on how long it takes us to dig out.) Several Wednesday events have cancelled, but the Scout’s Office Warming is still on!

Stay safe and warm, everyone!
New Year’s Resolution 2015: Write something, ANYTHING, on this fancy blog that’s built into our site, so easy to use, and yet somehow intimidating because blogging isn’t one of those things we’ve done a lot of. We post to Facebook and Twitter all the time to highlight upcoming events, but we want the blog to be more than just another version of our events calendar.
So we’ll try to write meaningful pieces, to review cool events or give you some insight into key happenings or the behind-the-scenes ticking of an arts center. Maybe we’ll succeed and maybe we won’t. But at least you won’t still be looking at the “Welcome to our new website” message, months after the website has launched. Fingers crossed…
For this first post… Just sharing that resolution (to make it a little more real) and letting you know that yes, the Cafe is open regular hours on Monday for MLK Day. Stop in, escape the cold, and grab a bite or a drink.
Happy New Year, from Arts at the Armory.
