A Wild Success!

Last Saturday we raised just over $2,000 at the brunch, print sale, dance party. $600 was from print sales alone. The shop is doing very well these days and we are really beginning to catch our stride. This money will allow us to even out those early months when we were in the opening phases and spending a little more than we were bringing in. Thank you for your support!

April Artist in Residence, Txutxo

Txutxo, the artist in Residence at AS220 for the month of April collaborated with some of the youth at Broad Street to refurbish and customize second hand furniture. Together they painted, screen-printed and airbrushed the pieces to give them new life. The furniture was then sold at the Farmer's Market in the performance space.

Every month at AS220 we have an Artist In Residence. Learn more
