The Arsenal Center for the Arts, dreamed up originally in 1973, is intended to bring all forms of art to the community, whether music, theatre, painting, or anything in between.  The organization offers various arts-related opportunities, including a large selection of classes, performances throughout the year, and even a small store located inside. It is also the home to four resident theatre companies, including the Watertown Children's Theatre, and is willing to rent out its theatre space to those that are interested.
