Arts at the Armory’s historic Performance Hall and cozy ROOTED Café are available to rent for your next private event!

The Performance Hall has undergone marked aesthetic and technical improvements in 2022 and 2023. Originally used as a drill hall when the Somerville Armory was built in the early 1900s, the Performance Hall is a raw, industrial space that can transform into the perfect venue for an urban wedding, fundraising gala, or a banquet.
