AS220 is a non-profit community arts organization located in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. We provide all Rhode Island artists affordable access to galleries, performance venues, educational opportunities, residential spaces, and work studios. Exhibitions and performances of original work are unjuried, uncensored and all ages. AS220 envisions a just world where all people can realize their full creative potential.
AS220’s three buildings offer access to six rotating gallery spaces; a performance stage; a black box theater; a print shop; a darkroom and media arts lab; a fabrication and electronics lab; a dance studio; a youth program focusing on young people under state care and in the Rhode Island juvenile detention facility; 47 residential spaces (39 of which are designated affordable housing) and 7 work studios for artists; and a restaurant and bar.
AS220 cultivates a creative community that continues to have a transformative impact on the city of Providence. We are dedicated to supporting artists and enhancing cultural opportunities for all the people of Rhode Island.
