About the Duluth Armory Arts and Music Center
The revitalized Armory will include working artist studios, an inclusive music education center, a vibrant food hall, and two large community spaces. These spaces will foster collaboration, community, and connection, reflecting the Armory's enduring role as a place where Duluth comes together. Opening planned for late 2027.
Beginning in 1915, the Duluth Armory was the heartbeat of community life: home to the National Guard and the Naval Militia and the backdrop for countless performances, celebrations and shared memories. That spirit endures today.
This building not only preserves history.
It creates it.

Here's your opportunity to make a piece of the Armory history yours.

​"The Duluth Armory has a remarkable legacy, from its 1915 military origins to hosting artists like Rachmaninoff, Duke Ellington, Johnny Cash, and one of Buddy Holly's final performances."
