The Arsenal Center For The Arts
The Arsenal Center was built by Watertown Arts on the Charles, which incorporated as a non-profit in 1998 to plan, raise support for, and operate an arts center that would serve Greater Boston. The driving force behind the effort was a group of citizens who had secured the long-term use of a building for conversion into an arts center under the terms of the 1998 redevelopment of the Army arsenal in Watertown. Building 312 was transformed into a modern, well-equipped, multi-use facility, and we celebrated its grand opening in September 2005.
The Arsenal Center for the Arts occupies 30,000 square feet of space on three floors. It houses two theatres, classrooms and workshop spaces, artist studios, gallery and exhibit space, rehearsal rooms, and informal gathering places. Its stunning and unique architectural design is ideally suited to support its mission of an inter-disciplinary arts center. This mix of interior venues provides a home for three resident companies (New Repertory Theatre, Watertown Children’s Theatre, The Quilters’ Connection) and regular performing troupes such as Improv Jones. The Center also offers its own programming consisting of art exhibits, classes and workshops for adults and children, concerts and other staged events, plus literary presentations and other discussion opportunities.
The Center’s spaces are also available to rent for corporate meetings, events by other non-profits, performances by other theater companies, and family events such as children’s birthday party workshops.
