Pyramid Atlantic is an art center tucked into Silver Spring, Maryland, at 8230 Georgia Avenue. While it doesn’t house a library collection of artists’ books, the center plays a central role in the DC book arts scene. Walking into the studio, you can hear the hum of presses, see paper being made, prints being pulled, and books carefully bound. It’s a place alive with hands-on creativity and quiet focus.
Workshops, Residencies, and Exhibitions
DC-area residents flock here to take letterpress classes, learn paper-making, create prints, and bind books. Pyramid Atlantic also hosts residencies, gallery exhibitions, and craft fairs. The biennial Pyramid Atlantic Book Arts Fair is a highlight, offering exhibitions, live demonstrations, talks, and opportunities to meet talented artists, librarians, students, and faculty from across the region and beyond. Each event carries a sense of shared discovery, where learning and inspiration intertwine.
