Armory Center for the Arts

The Armory Center for the Arts is a museum in Pasadena with multiple gallery spaces that display rotating exhibitions of contemporary works. The collections feature regional and international artists working in various mediums today.

The center was founded in 1989 and quickly became an educational hub for visual arts in the region. It has since focused on teaching and exhibitions that serve the local community.

The center serves as a gathering space where people learn to work with their hands, from painting to ceramics and digital media. Classes welcome all ages and backgrounds, fostering creative expression as an open practice.

The museum displays exhibitions throughout the year and offers classes for different age groups and backgrounds. It helps to check the current schedule and exhibition focus before visiting.

Each November the center organizes a juried exhibition where artists display works alongside craft, design, and live performances. This annual event brings together different creative fields in one showcase.
