Formerly a weapons armory and boxing gym, this 3-story open-air building has been modularly re-designed to provide a multipurpose workspace and state-of-the-art technology for artists, as well as an ever-changing, dynamic exhibition space for the public.

Over the past year, The Digital Armory hosted Denver Digerati - Denver’s largest Digital Animation Festival, Meow Wolf, multiple Radical Love Movement Mixed Media Dance Performances, I am Raverro, Rainbow Militia, Carlos Martiel's multicasted "Third Person" which was shot at The Armory and broadcasted on Daniels & Fisher Tower as part of Night Lights Denver, as well as on the History Colorado Building and the Capital. The Digital Armory was also the site of Robbie Fikus CBS interview for his projection artwork on the D&F Tower, and won Westword Denver's Best LiveStream Facility.

The Armory was designed by famed English architect William Quayle and built in 1889. It was built to house the Colorado State Militia and related weaponry. Supporting the main drill room roof are six 75 foot long trusses spanning the largest single room in Denver built before 1890. 

The building passed into private hands in 1913 and went through a series of incarnations as a dance hall, a social club, a roller rink, a truck dealership, and most notably in the 1920s and 30s, The Olympic Auditorium, site of some of the biggest boxing matches in Denver history. In 1964, World Heavyweight Champion Sonny Liston trained in the Armory for the Muhammad Ali fight. In 1938, the building became Art Neon, the largest neon sign plant in the rocky mountain west where nearly all of Denver’s early large neon signs and artisan painted highway billboards were manufactured.
