Join us Friday, May 8th for our Soundproofing Benefit Concert

Was our last blog post really in March? My how time flies when you’re having fun! But right now we really want to make sure you are all aware of the fun coming up this Friday, May 8th! That is the night we are kicking off our fundraising effort to soundproof the performance hall.

As you can see by our ever-growing list of events, we are always doing our best to bring great programming to our stage both in the Hall and in the cafe, but we are somewhat limited in our offerings because we currently have restrictions on the decibel levels allowed. By soundproofing the space, we will be able to dramatically expand our event offerings. This is where you come in… By attending our Soundproofing Benefit Concert THIS FRIDAY (5/8), you will be helping us towards our goal. Tickets are $15/$12 students and can be purchased at the door or in advance here.

We are so excited for this night of world music featuring Esthema, Goli, and 35th Parallel. We know it will be a night to remember and a great first step towards achieving our soundproofing goal.

Event Preview: AniMAtic Boston, Mar. 25

Is everyone enjoying the first week of spring? Okay, so maybe the temperatures haven’t felt quite “seasonal” yet but as New Englanders we need to embrace the little milestones we set for ourselves; whether it’s St. Patrick’s Day or the Red Sox season opener, those markers in the sand keep us going.

And, so does art and the sense of community that comes with supporting it! So make a plan to visit the Armory to get a little more color in your life. Here’s one surefire way to accomplish that: AniMAtic Boston. On Wednesday, March 25th in the Cafe the Boston animation community welcomes the great Tom Snyder. Tom has been writing and creating animation in Boston for over 30 years. He founded Tom Snyder Productions, (which later became Soup2Nuts) created the Comedy Central hit show Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist and recently teamed up with Jonathan Katz once again to create the web series Explosion Bus. Now that’s a colorful guy!

Doors open at 7pm for networking opportunities with other area animators and members of the community before Tom’s talk starts at 7:30pm.

March Happiness

Spring is coming, we can actually feel it here at the Armory!

It occurred to us this morning that most of our blog updates have been about nothing but the weather; we even took to referring to snow as “the s-word!” Yet with the sun shining so brightly and Daylight Savings Time giving us another hour of it, as well as predictions that the mercury might even touch 50 degrees this week, we are officially optimistic that the Somerville earth will eventually thaw!

And, as it does, you’ll have no shortage of great reasons to come visit us! Check out the March calendar, we promise you’ll start feeling warmer already!
