Pyramid Atlantic Art Center (PAAC) was founded in 1981 by noted artist
and teacher Helen C. Frederick to provide a setting for artistic
collaboration and dialogue. A 501(c)(3) non-profit contemporary arts
center, PAAC receives federal and state funds as well as generous
support from private foundations, corporations, and local businesses. In
addition, we count individual donors and our members among our most
valued supporters. We are located in the heart of the Gateway Arts District in Hyattsville, MD. The facility
features a papermaking studio, print shop, letterpress studio, bindery, a
darkroom, and a wood shop. We also have private studios for artists to
rent and a gallery for exhibitions.
