About
The Target Gallery, the national exhibition space of the Torpedo Factory Art Center, promotes high standards of art by continuously exploring new ideas through visual media in a schedule of national and international exhibitions. The gallery hosts nine exhibits annually--some juried, some curated--featuring a variety of themes and artists. In an effort to keep our perspective challenged, our exhibits are usually composed of artists outside of the Torpedo Factory and represent artistic views from across the nation.
The Target Gallery is open to the public Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 5pm, and every second Thursday of the month until 9pm as a part of Old Town Alexandria’s Second Thursday Art Night.
