Its designation as a local historic landmark by the Brighton Historic Preservation Commission set in motion the Armory’s transformation into a vibrant cultural center. Today, the facility hosts local and regional events and performances. A wide range of theater, dance, music and visual arts programming are offered to children, adults and families. Programming at the Armory dovetails with cultural programs at the Brighton Branch Library next door. The Armory is owned and operated by the Brighton Urban Renewal Authority.
