| Jobs and Opportunities at AS220
AS220 is a non-profit arts organization that provides Rhode Island
artists with an unjuried and uncensored space to create and share artwork.
The Broad Street Studio is the youth component of AS220, which strives
to meet the needs of young people in and outside of Rhode Island's
juvenile prison.
The Studio's overarching goal is to help young people
gain skills and develop habits that will lead to a healthy and happy
life outside of the criminal justice system. We achieve this by
providing a myriad of opportunities for young people to gain
self-confidence and academic success, as well as social and economic
empowerment. The Studio has been around since 2000 and is able to
employ up to 25 youth of varying backgrounds.
