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.
