Armory Center for the Arts

This is certainly one of the more unique art galleries in Southern California. In addition to hosting many excellent exhibitions each year, it offers a bevy of truly interactive activities. Shows present artists at every level, including professionals, amateurs and especially students. Friday nights are particularly exciting, featuring lectures, artist appearances and other presentations. A recent exhibition entitled 'PROS & PROteges' examined how some local artists have impacted the creative lives of their pupils. The center also offers classes and studios to the public.
