Armory Art Center Launches AC Fundraiser

Armory Art Center

(Press Release) West Palm Beach, Fla. (June 20, 2024) — Things are heating up at the Armory Art Center, but not in a good way! 

It’s no secret that South Florida summers are sweltering. The Armory’s air conditioning system is currently struggling to keep the historic campus comfortable for visitors, students, faculty, and staff. 

This summer, the Armory is launching "Beat the Heat”, a matching gift campaign to raise critical funds for new air conditioners. With the community’s support, the Armory Art Center aims to install state-of-the-art air conditioners that keeps its studios, galleries, and classrooms refreshingly cool.
