FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 
AS220 is awarded $300,000 from Wallace Foundation 
AS220 has been awarded a grant from the Wallace Foundation for $300,000.00 over four 
years to help pioneer effective ideas and practices that can build public participation in the 
,,~·-;··\:·ar·lS·::~:rwen-fY"'0fl8'"Gt:Jitt::~ral··organizntions-,in··•lS:s.fates··wei'e·~awarded'0Ver~$"1·'3 1 milliori\Obi1he';';:-a,"c·•".,.,~·=·· 1·' 
Wallace Foundation'in November 2003. 
The Wallace Foundation's latest round of grants brings to 58 the number of arts institutions 
across the country with strong track records in participation-building that have received a 
total of more than $43 million in support since 1999 under Wallace's Leadership and 
Excellence in Arts Participation initiative or LEAP. 
This grant will make it possible for AS220 to diversify its multigenerational community by 
engaging artists and the arts-going public who are over age 40. This community-based arts 
center will also expand opportunities for employment for individual artists by including at 
least three additional annual artist residencies, and will restructure many of its events to 
increase participation and enhance earned revenue. 
Eleven Initiatives Comprise the AS220 Grant 
AS220 will take specific action toward reaching these goals during a four year period: 
At least three mid-career or established artists will we be invited to AS220 for a residency 
each year. 
Beginning in September 2004, AS220 will launch a series of artist residencies, exhibits, and 
publications under the banner of the Institute for Folk Technology. 
AS220 will hold more artists. talks, create more Nook and Cranny exhibition spaces, and 
expand the Providence Studio Space List to match artists with work and live studios.

An Open Orchestra or Collaborative Cooperatives will be formed to promote the formation 
of performance troupes. 
Current and new instructors will craft groups and personalized instruction that will deepen 
student artistic prowess. 
The AS220 Event Shop will convene a skilled team of coordinators to execute all special 
events at AS220, including the annual signature fundraising event, the Fool's Ball, which 
celebrates it tenth anniversary in 2004. 
An online store front will be expanded to merchandise AS220 products; currently, AS220

donors to designate gifts to specific programs within AS220. 
The AS220 Free Software Project will break away from dependency on proprietary software, 
and have 90% of all AS220 computers running on free software by 2008. 
A daily online collaborative journal, the Collabo-Biog, encourages our audience to visit the 
AS220 website each day, where they can access articles, local show and exhibition reviews, 
links to other organizations, and in-house documentation. 
AS220 will set up a system for capturing and archiving all events through recordings on high 
fidelity video tape, and solicitation of historical material, such as photographs, print material, 
and video, from artists. 
The Wallace Foundation Leadership and Excellence in Arts Participation (LEAP) Program 
Through LEAP, many museums, performing arts organizations, and community cultural 
centers that are adopting customer-focused practices aligned with high-quality artistic 
programs are experiencing higher ticket sales; attracting new, more diverse patrons; or 
encouraging people to return for a greater variety of programs and activities. 
"In all of our work, we seek to support and share effective practices that help organizations 
expand learning and enrichment opportunities for all people," said M. Christine DeVita, the 
Foundation's president. "Our LEAP partnership with leading arts organizations enables us to 
help develop new practices that expand participation in the arts, and then to share the 
lessons from their work so that other institutions around the country make the arts an essential 
resource for individual learning, personal enrichment, civic engagement and community 
health." 
Each LEAP organization sets its own goals covering a wide range of possible activities 
including field testing program, marketing, outreach and organizational strategies that hold 
promise for broadening, deepening or diversifying participation. Collectively, the goals of 
Wallace's LEAP initiative are twofold: to provide LEAP organizations support to develop, 
experiment and refine innovative and effective participation-building practices and 
strategies; and to share that information in ways that permit other arts organizations to adopt 
those strategies. 
"Organizations of widely different types and sizes in many communities are hotbeds of 
creative thinking about effective strategies for building arts participation," said Michael 
Moore, director of arts programs at the Foundation. "We think these organizations, and 
many like them, need to be understood, valued and supported. You could have the world's 
greatest artistry, but.ifyour door is locked, no one is ever going to see it." ... 
LEAP is part of a multifaceted effort to develop knowledge about effective participation-
building practices among interested arts organizations and their funding partners across the 
country. It builds on more than a decade of work during which the Foundation, formerly the 
Wallace-Reader's Digest Funds, invested more than $300 million in theaters, museums, dance 
companies, literary groups, community art schools and centers. Through their programs and 
public efforts, these organizations have demonstrated that excellence need not mean 
exclusion and that the benefits of the arts can be multiplied through the shared experience 
of participation. 
Over the past decade, the Foundation has used a range of strategies to help propel the 
development of cultural organizations that are effectively increasing participation in their 
communities; to foster partnerships with states and other public and private funders to 
increase arts participation; and to develop new knowledge and tools, including A New 
Framework for Building Arts Participation developed by RAND, that help make the arts part 
of people's everyday lives. 
The Foundation's three current goals are to: improve student achievement through stronger 
education leadership; enhance after-school learning opportunities; and expand 
participation in arts and culture. Further information can be found at
