This week was the final step in the 2015 jury for new members at the Torpedo Factory!

There are 11 new members of the Torpedo Factory Artists’ Association, a group of local artists committed to exhibiting their work and process to the public. Becoming a member of the TFAA is the first step to leasing or sharing a studio space in the Factory. Congrats to all these artists on their remarkable achievement!
