From collectors

The Torpedo Factory Art Center is an Art Center located on the waterfront of the Potomac River. Historically it was literally a former torpedo factory and munitions storage site.
It houses more 82 artists' studios, 6 galleries and two workshops, with some 165 professional visual artists who produce a diversity of artwork, ranging from painting, ceramics, photography, jewelry, stained glass, fiber, printmaking, and sculpture. The six galleries located at the Torpedo Factory include the Target Gallery, The Art League Gallery, Enamelists Gallery, the Multiple Exposures Gallery which specializes in photography, the Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery and the Scope Gallery which specializes in ceramics.

The Machine is in the Food Pavilion in between the Torpedo Factory Art Center and the Waterfront Chart House Restaurant. The Electric Machine is on the 2nd Floor next to the Dragon Eatery.
