The Torpedo Factory
Located on the waterfront in historic Alexandria, Virginia, The Torpedo Factory Art Center is a historic space with a modern twist, making it a beautiful canvas for both ceremonies and receptions.
Built in 1918 the space was, as the name suggests, a torpedo manufacturing factory, and it retains much of its original character today. The exposed pipes, mushroom shaped columns and smokestack give the space a unique, industrial character, while the new industrial style railings, light fixtures and brightly painted studio doors give the space a more modern feel.
With artwork created by over 160 artists spread throughout the venue, the Art Center creates a beautiful canvas for a reception.
