AS220 was originally located at 220 Weybosset Street above Providence Center for Performing Arts. The name AS220 is taken from this address while the “AS” stands for Art Space. The acronym is a reference to New York City’s art spaces PS1 and PS122. For a brief period it relocated to 73 Richmond Street over former Club Babyhead what is now Club Hell. In 1994, AS220 moved to its current location.
