This document discusses the role of art and culture in community development. It outlines the history and programs of AS220, a nonprofit arts organization in Providence, Rhode Island, that has supported local artists since 1985 through galleries, live arts, youth programs, industries, and live/work spaces. The document questions whether art and culture should solely be a means to economic ends or if it can be the means of community development in its own right through supporting artists and creative practices.
