AS220 is a community of artists in downtown Providence that provides open forums and opportunities for Rhode Island artists. We provide an alternative to the institutional venues and have gained attention for our commitment to an “open and unjuried”, egalitarian approach to nurturing a creative community.
The activities of AS220 include, but are not limited to, several weekly events in our performance space, monthly gallery exhibits, a number of annual events, including Foo Fest, the AS220 Youth Studios community learning center, the Cottage Industries that include our Darkroom/Digital Photo, Printshop, and Fab Lab. The newest addition to our programs is 95 Empire Performance Collective, which is comprised of a black box theater, theater arts school, dance facilities, and a group of resident performers. AS220 currently owns and manages three buildings in downtown Providence that house approximately 50 artists, commercial tenants, and provide individuals and collaborative work space, galleries, venues, and our bar and restaurant. The FY2012 operating budget of AS220 and related for-profit entities is $2.8 million.
Prospective candidates should spend some time on our web site as220.org, before applying.
