Jobs and Opportunities

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.

AS220 Youth Media and Technology Coordinator - Full Time

A full time position is opening at AS220 Youth, AS220's free arts education program serving young people 14-20, with a special focus on those in the care and custody of the State. AS220 Youth maintains formal partnerships with the RI Training School, a juvenile detention facility, and UCAP middle school. The primary work of the all AS220 Youth staff is to engage young people in art-making workshops that will lead to an increase in skills and self-esteem. Youth staff are also responsible for developing para-professional opportunities for youth in art, design, and technology, so they have direct experience working as creative professionals. Because many of the youth in our program have already the juvenile justice system and/or remedial education, AS220 staff must have a strong commitment to serving "beyond risk" youth. This includes providing basic social supports and case management on an as-needed basis.

The Media and Technology Coordinator will design and implement AS220 Youth's technology program, called the Fabratory. The Fabratory includes 2D and 3D design, video game development, and computer competency. Our current priority for the Fabratory is expanding our video game design curricula. We are looking for a technical artist with strong management skills to head up this initiative.

The Media/Tech Coordinator is a full-time, supervisory position. The Coordinator will be teaching at our 3 program sites and supervising additional instructors and interns. The Coordinator will manage the Fabratory budget and will be responsible for maintaining all hardware and software for the studio.
