2018 Pyramid Atlantic Program Development VISTA
 
 
 
Founded in 1981, Pyramid Atlantic is a nonprofit contemporary art center fostering the creative disciplines of papermaking, printmaking, and book arts within a collaborative community. We equip, educate, and exhibit in our historic Hyattsville home. Our facility features a papermaking studio, print shop, letterpress studio, bindery, screenprinting studio/darkroom, 17 private artist studios, and an art gallery that hosts 8 exhibitions per year. Our vision is to create an artistic hub in Hyattsville that inspires and enables local, national, and international artists to create and innovate in our core disciplines; elevates the local arts and small business scene; and enhances the quality of life for artists and neighbors. We value artistic excellence, infrastructure for artists, hands-on experiences, and collaboration. The AmeriCorps VISTA member will build upon the foundation created by former VISTAs in areas of volunteerism, community outreach, membership, and technological infrastructure. Further, a major component of this year’s work will be to expand Pyramid Atlantic’s educational art programs to K-12 students, particularly in Prince George’s County, MD.
