Pyramid Atlantic Art Center (PAAC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit contemporary arts center specializing in papermaking, printmaking, and book arts.[1] They are currently located at 4318 Gallatin Street in Hyattsville, Maryland.
A decade ago, artist and teacher Helen Frederick started Pyramid Atlantic in a 500-square-foot studio in Baltimore. In 1986, a Washington studio was opened. Now this innovative art center, consolidated last year in a 5,000-square-foot studio in Riverdale in Prince George's County, is celebrating its first 10 years of printmaking, papermaking and book arts.
