Armory Arts Village

Visitor Suggestion: The Armory Arts Village is a bold, innovative community redevelopment project that uses arts, culture, creativity and innovation as a catalyst for reinventing the community of Jackson, Michigan and the surrounding region.

Through a combination of adaptive reuse of the historic prison buildings and the creation of compatible new construction on the site, this unique place has been transformed into Armory Arts Village, a one-of-a-kind creativity-focused mixed-use neighborhood.

The activities in this neighborhood are grounded in arts, creativity and innovation and will grow of a critical mass of artist entrepreneurs, increase small business start-ups, create jobs, and attract new businesses, residents and visitors from around the state and beyond.
