Small Business Saturday

After Black Friday and before Cyber Monday, there’s Small Business Saturday. All artists in the Art Center are also small, independent business owners and they help shape the distinctive and creative personality of Old Town Alexandria.
Now more than ever, it’s important to support small business who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Give creatively and give art this year. Torpedo Factory Art Center is the region’s best place to find handmade jewelry, ornaments, ceramics, and other unique gifts. Shop small and buy local from nearly 200 artists on three floors.
Masks are required for all visitors over the age of 2, regardless of vaccination status.
