RIVR Space Tours - October - AS220 Industries

We're so excited to visit AS220 Industries. AS220 Industries is a collection of community workspaces located in downtown Providence.

AS220 Industries is a collection of community workspaces and resources that offers affordable, project-based, experiential learning in digital fabrication, printmaking and media arts. By providing access to studio space, tools of the trade, and varied training opportunities, AS220 Industries fosters a diverse and dynamic environment for learning and making. With our hands-on approach, students are encouraged to engage in peer-to-peer learning and teaching as they explore, create, and innovate.

Rhode Island Virtual Reality's event line-up is bringing you to where VR/MR/AR experiences get made. From holograms and simulations to 360 film and motion capture studios, our season will help us better understand our lines of inquiry and interest, our capabilities and resources, get help on our projects and evaluate gaps and how to work better collectively.

Our format will change slightly, so we can all grab a bite to eat.

About AS220 Industries

AS220 Industries offers a wide array of resources for artists, designers, and makers of all kinds and all levels. We offer a range of membership levels at different points of access. We also help new users training via our affordable introductory workshops on every piece of equipment.

Only members can reserve time in a space or on a piece of equipment. Once you are trained to use the equipment, you can book time to work independently.

We are located on the 1st and 2nd floors of the Mercantile Building at 131 Washington St. in downtown Providence. Our main entrance is at the rear of the Mercantile, on Lucie Way, a pedestrian walkway accessed via Mathewson St. For elevator and handicapped access, use the front entrance of the Mercantile Building.

We are excited for this special opportunity to tour and work in the AS220 Industries space!
