The Armory Center for the Arts is a community arts center that offers visual arts students the opportunity to view a variety of studio art. In addition to exhibitions and performances, it also offers art classes to schools and the community. The center started in 1947 as the education department of the Pasadena Art Museum and when this was closed in1974, it became the Pasadena Art Workshop, with the continued involvement of professional artists as teachers and brought the arts to new audiences by working with schools, libraries, parks, neighborhood groups, community centers and city agencies. In 1982, its name changed when it moved into the National Guard Armory, a more than 26,000-square-foot facility, divided equally into studio art workshops and a gallery. The Armory Center for the Arts is located in Pasadena, Calif.
