Elisa Callow served as the founding Executive Director of the Armory Center for the Arts for 12 years. The Center is a community arts organization that encourages broad public participation through innovative approaches to creating, exploring, and presenting visual and performing arts. For more than 25 years, Elisa worked to bring communities together through the arts, forging pathbreaking partnerships with schools and municipal agencies. Her lifelong commitment to community service was inspired by her father, who directed the urban parks system in Los Angeles County during the 1960s and ’70s.
