Pyramid Certification FAQ and Contact |
|
What does it mean to get "Pyramid Certified"? In order to rent Pyramid Atlantic studios, individuals who have not been previously approved are required to become "Pyramid Certified." This means that the student must complete instruction with Pyramid Atlantic associates before being approved to rent alone. Renters will need to have 3-5 hours of instruction (depending on experience) and another 5 hours of either one-on-one time or accrued through "happy hour" drop-in time. Pyramid offers “happy hours” where individuals can come and work in a specific studio for a minimal fee. Pyramid associates are on-hand during "happy hours" to offer help, but do not offer instruction during this time. After an individual has accrued 10 hours of time in the studio they wish to rent, the associate will evaluate the renter’s understanding and decide if unsupervised rental is appropriate. Please click here to visit the "Happy Hours" activities page for more information. _____________________________________________________________ If I have no prior experience, what do I need to do in order to become "Pyramid Certified" so that I may rent studio space independently?
Experienced artists need only complete a one-hour (or less) orientation to become certified. _____________________________________________________________ How much does it cost to become certified? The price for certification is the same as rental with assistance: $35/hour for members |
