In honor of the 100th anniversary of the groundbreaking for the building, the Torpedo Factory Art Center hosts a special Torpedo Talk with Art Center founder Marian Van Landingham and historian David F. Winkler from the Naval Historical Foundation. Join us for a unique conversation focused on both the history of the building as a naval ordnance plant during the first part of the 20th century and its transformation into the vibrant arts space that has thrived at the Alexandria Waterfront for nearly 45 years.
