The Armory on the Assabet

🎨 Our summer art classes at the Armory on the Assabet are just under two weeks away! Join us for a creative series designed for kids, teens, and adults to explore, learn, and make art together by the river.

We’re kicking things off with:

• Art Class: June in Bloom — create vibrant floral oil pastel artwork with local artists Karen Nunley and Christina Giza
• Drawing Class I (Ages 11–15) — learn foundational drawing skills and explore creative techniques that help you see the world in new ways
• Drawing Class II (Adults) — dive into observational drawing inspired by classic methods that transform simple sketches into expressive, realistic artwork

🎸 What a night at the Armory!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Battle of the Bands — your energy made it a truly memorable evening.

Congratulations to all six bands who took the stage: Infinity, Avarind, Machines Still Bleed, The B-Sides, The Goblins, and Caution Heavy.

The enthusiasm from these young musicians was contagious — they cheered each other on, shared some entertaining, friendly banter, and made the event such a joy to watch.

One especially memorable moment: The B-Sides won the Battle of the Bands and then generously gave their prize to Caution Heavy, who are recording an album. It was a wonderful show of support and community spirit.

Congratulations again to all the performers, and thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate local music with us.

Summer is just getting started — stay tuned for more upcoming events from Arts Around the Armory. https://www.armoryontheassabet.org/arts-around-the-armory
