The mission of the Pawtucket Armory Center for the Arts, founded in 2002, is the rehabilitation and management of the historic Pawtucket National Guard Armory on Exchange Street, Pawtucket, Rhode Island and the conversion of the Armory into an active and vibrant Center for the Arts.

Over the past six years, the building and an adjacent Annex, both of which were in deteriorating condition, have been renovated to accommodate the Jacqueline M. Walsh School for the Performing and Visual Arts, a unit of the Pawtucket Public School system, and the Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm), Rhode Island's second largest theater company and one of just two theaters in Rhode Island working under contract with Actors Equity Association, the union which governs professional actors and stage managers in the United States. These organizations occupy the space as the current tenants of the Pawtucket Armory Center for the Arts.

The final phase of reconstruction will take the form of a 340-seat performance space in the large Drill Hall area. Completion of this design will provide a new and permanent home for The Gamm as well as a state-of-the-art facility for other regional and community arts groups, making the City of Pawtucket a cultural hub within easy reach of larger population centers to the North and South.
