AS220 performs a critical role in the New England arts community by offering a venue for artists, working in all mediums, who may not find support within the commercial marketplace. The 'Suite 16 Bouquet' was created in support of AS220's current Capital Campaign, which will strengthen AS220's capacity to serve the arts community of Rhode Island long into the future .

"For 15 years, AS220 has set the standard for cuHing edge arts organizations, playing a central, critical role in the remarkable renaissance that more and more, every day, is Providence. "

-Vincent Cianci Mayor of Providence, Rl

"AS220's radical genius lies in giving the community at large - 'artist' or dileHante­a stage on which to perform, no holds barred. This is what I love about the place and its inhabitants: at its heart this art space demonstrates what we all tend to believe, that everyone has a creative impulse which should be acted on and appreciated."
