Celebrate the 40th anniversary of AS220, the community arts organization that has mixed and remixed arts and culture in Providence and Rhode Island since 1985!

We're kicking our 40th anniversary off with five jam packed nights showcasing almost everything that could happen here. From hip hop to punk, visual art to dance, burlesque to film, and comedy to kids shows, it’s all happening during AS220's March Mixtape - Wednesday the 19th through Sunday the 23rd.

AS220 was founded in 1985 as the physical manifestation of artists from across Rhode Island convening and talking about the lack of opportunity afforded them. Willed into existence, grown, and nurtured by countless people across all walks of life, AS220 has evolved from a raw one room space on the third floor of the Providence Performing Arts Center to a cornerstone of Rhode Island's arts and culture sector that has changed the lives of thousands of people throughout the world. Today, AS220 continues to provide access to the opportunities and resources needed by creative leaders of today and the future to imagine, design, and realize their ideas in order to address critical issues facing our communities.
