Experiences in Race: Storytelling in a Judgement-Free Zone

Agenda Alexandria 141 views Tue Mar 1st, 2022

Since 1974, the Torpedo Factory Art Center has been more than a landmark in Alexandria. It has uniquely demonstrated the city’s devotion to and support of artists and the benefits they bring to the local economy. Now, the City Council is considering a range of options to raise more revenue and increase vibrancy from the operations of the former U.S. Navy munitions factory. Options include reconfiguring the space and adding new commercial features, relocating or reducing some of the artist studio space and turning the building over to a public private partnership. Agenda Alexandria will explore the issues surroundings options for changing the Torpedo Factory Art Center at its January 24, 2022 virtual meeting starting at 7:00pm.
