Organizational Overview
The mission of Armory Center for the Arts is to nurture our community and its young people by creating, learning, and presenting art to advance equity and social justice. Deeply committed to public access, education, and outreach programs, the Armory presents contemporary art exhibitions, performances, and educational experiences at its main facility and at satellite locations throughout the City of Pasadena and Greater Los Angeles. For more information on the Armory, visit armoryarts.org/about.
The Armory believes that traditional hiring practices have historically and systemically marginalized entire groups of people including people of color, people of different socio-economic backgrounds, women, people with disabilities, people in the LGBTQ community, and veterans, to name a few. We strongly believe as an organization in deconstructing barriers and building a team that authentically represents the diverse communities, and backgrounds of Los Angeles County.

INSPO project results include new insights into ways to capture youth experiences in the arts; rigorous and nuanced teacher assessment of student performance, which can be used to refine programs that serve historically overlooked communities in our region; an enhanced capacity to measure social emotional learning outcomes; and improved visitor experiences. Success will be measured by greater empowerment for youth who participate in the evaluation in a more joyful and creative experience, giving diverse participants agency in their storytelling.
