The current leadership of the Torpedo Factory does not have the confidence of the artist community. They have tried to put a positive spin on the misguided and unneeded reforms to the art center, including the outrageous plan to redo the first floor. They are responsible for the disastrous re-jury process that caused many good artists - NEEDLESSLY - to lose their studio spaces.

This situation is no longer working. I urge all supporters of the arts in Alexandria: contact the Mayor and City Council and ask for CHANGE in the leadership of the Office of the Arts!
