CURRENT EXHIBIT(S)
Life or Something Like It Hermes Berrío Solo Exhibition
Join the Armory Art Center as it hosts the incredible talent of Colombian Visual Artist Hermes Berrío!
Life or Something Like It explores the fluid boundaries between reality and perception, memory and reinvention. Berrío’s work brings forth an expansive exploration of identity and transformation, elevating everyday moments into monumental narratives. Through painting, and mixed media, he blends the mundane with the extraordinary, inviting viewers to reconsider how personal history, cultural symbolism, and imagination intersect. Berrío draws from street culture, social media symbolism, and personal history to examine the ways we construct identity through memory and material culture. Life or Something Like It is an invitation to reflect on the transient nature of experience, how we navigate, adapt, and transform the symbols that shape our lives.

UPCOMING EXHIBIT(S)
“Before I Forget” Kristin Beck Exhibition
Join the Armory Art Center as it hosts the interactive exhibition of Floridian Visual Artist Kristin Beck!
Before I Forget is a series about dementia, memory, and identity. The body of work, created in response to helping my father who has dementia, visually represents the impaired and declining cognitive functions and memory lapses with portraits, 3D objects, and interactive elements. Some themes include repetition, reminders, response delays, reduced capacities, and realizations of losing a sense of self. In concert with these depictions are audience participation stations and a community building project. Additionally, my goal is to raise awareness for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

BraveHeARTS Exhibition
Join the Armory Art Center as it hosts the talent of our local veterans in the arts!
Armory Art Center’s BraveHeARTS program promotes the rehabilitation of military service veterans through visual arts and the power of creative expression. This program began in April 2018 to assist military veterans from the VA Medical Center in West Palm Beach. The program builds self-esteem, nurtures talent, and promotes the development of new skills through the visual arts. Additionally, the organization helps Veterans with being present, and to improve dexterity. Also, the BraveHeARTS Program strives to instill a sense of accomplishment in each veteran and encourage each to learn new skills. The Armory Art Center is proud to actively support these brave women and men. Veterans re-discover strengths while using community resources.
