AS220 Industries Open House Brings Dinosaurs To Providence Tonight

It's dinosaur night in downtown Providence tonight as AS220 Industries dedicates its monthly Open House to things ancient and planetary. With the month of March, or  "Mars", as the inspiration, this translates into some very interesting work at the downcity studios.

AS220's resident artists and designers will be making "celestial" glow-in-the-dark letterpress and silkscreen prints from 6-8pm, and they will be churning out dinosaur models with their CNC router and 3D printer. And it's all free and open to the public. There will be snacks and cash bar as well.

An 8-foot-tall Tyrannosaurus Rex that was designed, manufactured, and assembled in house, will be on hand for inspection as well as photo opps.
