Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Torpedo Factory Art Center is the former U.S. Naval Torpedo Station, a naval munitions factory on the banks of the Potomac River in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, which was converted into an art center in 1974. The facility is located at 105 North Union Street, near the eastern end of King Street. Large-scale renovation of the Torpedo Station, which closed in 1945, began in May 1974, with the new center formally opened on September 15, 1974. From 1982 to 1983, the building underwent further renovation in compliance with the City's waterfront development plan and was entirely gutted and rebuilt with a new ventilation system and central heating. It formally reopened on May 20, 1983. The Center is home to the largest number of publicly accessible working artist studios in the U.S. As of March 2022, it housed 82 artists' studios, 8 galleries, and workshops, with some 165 professional visual artists who work in a variety of media, including painting, ceramics, photography, jewelry, stained glass, fiber, printmaking, and sculpture.
