City Launches Mobile Art Lab

A surplus truck is outfitted with art supplies and equipment offering music, video and hands-on activities that can go anywhere in the city.

On Saturday, Sept. 13, Alexandria’s Office of the Arts will launch a new Mobile Art Lab program in Alexandria at the Torpedo Factory along the City Marina from noon until 11 p.m.

The new program will offer music, video and hands-on activities throughout the day and night. Working in collaboration with local and regional artists, the Mobile Art Lab will provide arts access throughout Alexandria by going directly to the people.

Using a surplus truck from Arlington, the Mobile Art Lab is filled with art supplies and equipment that will enable quality, engaging arts programs to happen anywhere in the City.
