The Armory builds on the power of art to transform lives and communities through creating, teaching and presenting the arts.
The Armory Center for the Arts has been at the forefront of art education in southern California for more than 60 years. It originated as the education department of the Pasadena Art Museum in 1947. Classes were led by artists whose teaching concepts grew out of the museum's exhibitions of modern art.
The education program became known as the Pasadena Art Workshops after the museum closed in 1974. Without a permanent space for exhibitions, the workshops used professional artists as teachers, and focused on the development of arts programs that presented alternative forms of learning. By working in partnerships with schools, libraries, parks, neighborhood groups, community centers and city agencies, the museum’s programs brought the arts to new audiences － a trend that continues to this day.
In 1989, the Pasadena Art Workshops found a new home and changed its name to the Armory Center
