The Armory Art Center is a not-for-profit
community-based visual arts education and exhibition center providing
opportunities for individual growth, self expression, increased awareness and
appreciation of the arts through participation in studio art classes,
exhibitions, lectures and other educational programs. The Center seeks to
educate, enrich and engage a diverse population through the "experience of
art".
Since its founding in 1986 through the continual evolution and growth of an
expanding campus, the Armory Art Center is an example of the community's
commitment to establishing a public gathering place for the experience of seeing
and creating art. The original Armory building was saved from demolition by
artists, preservation activists, philanthropists and the Palm Beach County
Cultural Council and has been recently renovated to provide students and guests
new studios and redesigned gallery space.
With over a dozen state of the art studios, more than one hundred course
offerings and an annual student population of nearly 3,000, the Armory Art
Center is West Palm Beach's only community art center. Classes are offered in
ceramics, jewelry, painting, drawing, printmaking, photography and sculpture,
with day and evening hours, both during the week and on Saturday.
Our Master Artist Workshop Series features twenty-five artists from around the
United States and welcomes 400 participants each season. Youth programs are
available throughout the year and the Armory prides itself on its unique Summer
Art Camp which provides studio art activities for over 600 children each year,
ages kindergarten through high school.
