Armory Arts & Music Center

The Armory Arts & Music Center (AAMC) is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization established in 2003 with the mission to preserve the Duluth Armory and its historic value to American culture and the arts, while encouraging its reuse, placing an emphasis on the arts and education. As this mission comes to life, AAMC is designing and building the North County Creative Center, as part of the Historic Armory’s revitalization. This space embraces and celebrates the historic spirit of music, military contributions and provides a space for future artists to explore and flourish.
