Alexandria, Virginia

A place worth knowing

Make room for Alexandria.

Give Alexandria time for art and the many people behind its historic streets. Choose a city collection or studio visit, then leave room for food and an open public waterfront route. Museum buildings and individual artists keep separate visitor arrangements.

A few good ways to begin.

Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.

Torpedo Factory Art Center

Explore the city art center and its working studios through current visitor guidance. Confirm individual studio and gallery opening; a public building visit does not guarantee that every artist is present.
