AS220 is a non-profit community arts center located in downtown Providence. We maintain artist live/work studios, several galleries, a performance space, a community darkroom, The Broad Street Studio, a community print shop and a bar and taqueria restaurant. Our mission is to provide a forum and home for the arts and the creative population of Rhode Island. Our facilities and services are made available to all artists who need a place to exhibit, perform or create their original artwork, especially those who cannot obtain space to exhibit or perform from traditional sources because of financial or other limitations. Exhibitions and performances are unjuried, uncensored, and open to all ages. Our nightly events range from punk shows to panel discussions, with the ocassional circus and weekly figure drawing session. We invite you to come and find out for yourself what AS220 is all about!
