What is the Hudson Armory Project?
The Hudson Armory Project is an innovative initiative of the Hudson Cultural Alliance (HCA), an all-volunteer, local non-profit invested in the transformation of the The Armory building into a regional arts and cultural center.
Our Mission
The mission of the Hudson Armory Project is to enrich the cultural economy of the region by creating an environment in which the arts flourish, inspire, and enhance the quality of life for all citizens.
Our Vision
Returning a Historic Hudson Building to its Former Glory
The Hudson Armory Project was developed by the Hudson Cultural Alliance to facilitate the creative collaboration between local organizations, businesses, artists, and performers with the goal of actively engaging a large and diverse regional audience.

Building Community Connections
To foster a more cohesive and active community, the project will cultivate connections among Hudson residents with shared interests. By welcoming veterans' and community historical groups, we will share the history of the building while providing a place to meet. In addition, the Hudson Armory project will provide support to local youth groups, senior citizen groups, and other cultural organizations.
Performing Arts and Culture Experiences to Remember
Once The Armory is renovated, there will be performing arts and exhibition space. Regional arts organizations will be able to take advantage of much-needed areas for rehearsals.
Unforgettable Community Events
With an open floor plan and outdoor event areas, The Armory will host a variety of public events. Examples may include Farmer's markets, library book sales, and other gatherings that will take advantage of the unique space.
Empowering Local Creatives
The new space will allow artists from all over the region access to studio space, needed to develop their work. Storage is a much-needed commodity, so removing the burden of lack of storage space will help local arts organizations focus on their work.
