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.

RI Training School Mentoring
broadstphotobig.jpg

It is Broad Street Studio's mission, in cooperation with DCYF and the Rhode Island Training School, to provide young people with positive role models to enhance their personal development. We match mentors with youth coming out of the Training School, with the expectation that mentors will provide emotional support to mentees, as well as assistance accessing community resources.

Being a mentor is, at minimum, a 6-month commitment. When possible, we match youth with mentors 3-months prior to their release from the RITS. Mentors continue working with youth for at least 3 months after release. The time commitment is at least 2 hours a week. Mentors are reimbursed for $12/hour to cover expenses incurred during the mentorship.

If you're interested in becoming a mentor, you will need to submit a reference and two personal references. We also do background checks on all mentors. While individuals with a criminal record are welcome to apply, you cannot currently be on probation or have pending charges.

For more information, please contact the Director of Broad Street Studio.
