History

The Armory Arts Village is a creativity-focused urban redevelopment project which offers affordable live/work space for a wide variety of "creative/artists" in the dramatic 19th century Jackson State Prison in Jackson, Michigan. The initial phase is a re-use of three historic stone and brick prison buildings. The Armory Arts Village is a Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) project, which provides affordable house for those whose income is below the local median income. Armory Arts Village welcomed its first artist/residents on January 1, 2008
