AS220 Mission
We, the citizens of Rhode Island, associate ourselves for the purpose of providing a local forum and home for the arts, through the maintenance of residential and work studios, galleries, performance and educational spaces. Exhibitions and performances in the forum will be unjuried, uncensored and open to the general public. 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.

Parking

We have a splendid bike rack in front of AS220 that we graciously offer to the public for free. Unfortunately we don't offer such luxurious accommodations for cars, but there are several parking garages within walking distance to AS220. There is also metered parking on the street.

Here is a map of some nearby parking garages and lots.
