Arley-Rose Torsone

Arley Rose Torsone grew up in a small river valley town in Pennsylvania. She moved to New York City to go to school at Parsons, where she met her music video hero, director Michel Gondry. After working for Michel, graduating design school, and being a freelance prop stylist, illustrator, designer, painter, and rumbler, she grew tired of the city and decided to get a job that had more soul. While doing research on her thesis at Parsons (which was to restore a historic Ice House in Milford, PA into a community arts center), she discovered AS220 in Providence. She sent a copy of her thesis to AS220 and began immediately as Communications Director.

She has been working at AS220 since October 2004 and is now establishing an in-house design studio called Design Providence that integrates Providence's community of artists and designers with work from non-profits, educational orgs, grassroots initiatives and folks who work to promote change in the world.

Arley also belongs to the Dirt Palace, an arts space in Olneyville where she screenprints, makes music, draws, paints, whistles, sings, makes things on the computer, and does other stuff that can be observed here.
