This May 30th, please join us for the third biennial Photo Lottery! Every two years, we gather together over a hundred pieces of photo-based artwork from students, amateurs, youth, working professionals, photo journalists and legendary photographers. This culminates in a celebration bringing together artists, collectors and the public for a mind-boggling salon style art show that pays tribute to the diversity of work being done in the photographic medium. Each $100 ticket is guaranteed to win a piece from this amazing array and to sweeten the pot, you have the privilege of taking the work home with you that very same evening. The Photo Lottery generates significant resources for the Paul Krot Darkroom & photo program of AS220, helping us continue to bring you inexpensive equipment rentals and low and no cost education, free events to grow the artistic community, and helps to sustain the only public darkroom facilities in Rhode Island.

You can think about buying a ticket to win an artwork as an investment or a donation, but either way, your $100 will be well spent. This year we've made it even easier to buy tickets, purchase them at the AS220 bar, by contacting us directly, or online. Go ahead and buy your tickets from your armchair or office via Brown Paper Tickets- Brown Paper Tickets - The first and only fair-trade ticketing company! . In the spirit of community, and since this exhibit is on view for only one evening, we encourage everyone to attend the Photo Lottery celebration free of charge regardless of if you purchase a ticket.

This year we are thrilled to announce donations from Jock Sturges, Henry Horenstein, Denny Moers and Mona Kuhn are among the work of a number of other prestigious & simply talented artists.

Everyone who buys a ticket wins a piece of art! How Democratic!
