Pyramid Atlantic offers Artists Residencies to emerging and established artists of all disciplines. Our goal is to provide resident artists with a stimulating and nurturing environment through discussion, collaboration, and full staff support. Artists-in-residence receive technical advice from master printmakers and papermakers; the space to create one-of-a-kind works up to 4 x 8 feet or editioned works in paper, print, or artist books; and studio time to work without interruption.

We have a new keyholder residency program to providing artists a two–five month residency to include the use of our facilities and technical advice from our in-house master printmakers, papermakers, and book artists. For more information about the keyholder residency, please click here.
 
Unfortunately, Pyramid Atlantic does not currently have the resources to provide stipends, materials assistance, or housing to artists interested in working with us.  However, we are willing upon review of an artist’s proposal to support the artist in their bid for an arts grant.
 
The following websites offer good advice and in some cases workshops on how to apply for grant funding for your art projects.
