Since 1974, the Torpedo Factory Art Center has been a unique cultural treasure on the waterfront in Alexandria, Virginia. Now, in fall of 2021, the Mayor and City Council are considering plans that would drastically change the art center.

Opposition to these mad plans is strong and growing daily. Here you will find ways to help, to make your voice heard, resources, and more.
