AS220, Providence's alternative Arts Space

Every summer, AS220 goes on a month long vacation, and there seems to be a hole in Providence's cultural scene. Downtown seems a little deader, and where to go for lunch is just not as clear.

Well, I'm glad to report that AS220 is back from vacation, bright-eyed, well rested, and ready to bring you the art, music, and sandwiches that you've grown to expect.

They've got an Open House on Thursday, so you can check out what's going on on Empire Street then. Here are some other happenings this week:
