AS220 Printshop Print Lottery!

The AS220 Printshop is approaching its 1 year anniversary as Rhode Island's only public Community Printshop. To commemorate this milestone, they are introducing their first biennial Print Lottery! The goal of this fundraising event is to expand the Printshop's resources, highlight a vast range of artists working in printmaking, and raise awareness of the medium's importance to contemporary art and the range of aesthetic possibilities it offers us.

The Print Lottery will showcase prints or works on paper made by 200 artists from all over the world! In keeping with AS220's mission of accessibility and equality, and for the purpose of having fun, the prints in the show will be sold by a blind lottery system, with all 200 lottery tickets selling for $75. Some tickets are still available! Ticket purchases directly support the Printshop, helping pay our staff and visiting teachers and purchase necessary materials and equipment . In thanks for your help you receive a beautiful work on paper that utilizes one of many printmaking techniques including but not limited to: drawing, monoprint, screenprint, etching, lithograph, woodblock, stencil, letterpress.

The prints are currently on exhibit at our gallery and performance space at 115 Empire St. The culmination of the show, the drawing of names and concurrent celebration, will take place on Saturday September 27th at 7 pm. A performance with three "mystery bands" will begin at 10pm.
