Recorrido a pie por el arte público histórico de Hyattsville

Join the Anacostia Trails Heritage Area on a new walking tour focusing on public artworks in Historic Downtown Hyattsville.

The tour, led by Tantara Person, features a variety of artworks commissioned by nonprofit organizations, private businesses, and local government initiatives. The tour begins at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, one of the major art centers in The Gateway Arts District. It is home to ATHA’s Heritage Center and serves as an origin point to connect visitors and residents to the cultural, historic, and cultural resources that make Historic Hyattsville and The Gateway Arts District a unique destination to see, play, dine, learn, and to take tons of great selfies!
