In light of recent ICE raids in our region, the Armory Center for the Arts reaffirms our unwavering commitment to the dignity, safety, and humanity of all community members, especially those most vulnerable.
We condemn the Trump Administration's escalation tactics and the climate of fear they create. As an arts organization rooted in social justice, we recognize that silence is not an option. We stand with immigrant families, artists, and youth who call this region home, contribute to our vibrant community, and participate in the artistic and cultural vibrancy of Southern California.
At the same time, we know that the work must continue. The Armory will remain open to our students, exhibition visitors, and those seeking refuge as a creative space for art, community connection, and care. In moments like these, the arts remind us of our shared humanity, give voice to our truth, and help us build resilience together.
We will continue to stay in close communication with our visitors and students if circumstances change for any reason. Please check our website and social media at @armoryarts for the most up-to-date information.
