Armory Center for the Arts, a mid-sized nonprofit based in Pasadena, California, combines contemporary art exhibitions with hands-on arts education. It operates year-round and offers free programming to the public, aiming to serve low-income and high-need neighborhoods in Pasadena and nearby communities. More than 80% of its programming serves low-income or systems-impacted youth and families. 
The organization’s mission centers on nurturing community and young people by creating, learning, and presenting art to advance equity and social justice, with teaching artists leading all classes. Its hybrid model functions as both a learning institution and an exhibition venue, featuring living artists in exhibitions that inform student projects and using education methods to shape how exhibitions are experienced, with all exhibitions open at no cost. In 2025, the organization announced initiatives to address air quality and programming continuity during wildfires, including mobile air filtration stations.
