(Hyattsville, MD) Pyramid Atlantic’s infamous HyBall (Hyattsville Ball) … and it’s gonna be splashy! A party of “overboard” proportions, the HyBall offers plenty of opportunities for fun while also raising money to support Pyramid’s facility and programming. Come out to explore Pyramid’s inky depths on May 7th with HyBall: Pyramid Atlantis!
HyBall: Pyramid Atlantis takes place on Saturday, May 7, 2022 from 8-11:00 pm. Tickets are $40 and include complimentary beer and wine. Tickets at pyramidatlanticartcenter.org/hyball2022 or by calling 301-608-9101. Pyramid Atlantic is located at 4318 Gallatin Street, Hyattsville Maryland 20781.
In Pyramid’s studios, attendees will make coasters on a clamshell press, print fish in the Gyotaku tradition, marble paper in sea-inspired waves and hues, and learn the secrets of map folding.
The gallery will host the Life Aquatic exhibition, which opens at the event and runs through May 29. Artists include Scott G. Brooks, Shawn Brown, Lyell Castonguay, David Curtis, Georgia Deal, April Flanders, Beth Hansen, Marty Ittner, Eric Leland, Sarah Noreen, Alexandra Sherman, Henrik Sundqvist, Julio Valdez, and Tinam Valk. Guests can also explore a Sea Monkey Palace installation created by Jared Davis during the show’s run.
Treasure hunters will find delights in the silent auction, including even more art, boat trips, water-inspired getaways, and thematic experiences.
Sips and treats will be delivered to guests by mermaids, sailors, and other sea creatures. Plus guests will enjoy maritime music and sea shanties from The Natterjacks followed by a dance party with Boogie Capt. DJ P.VO.
