fall/winter 2024-2025 keyholder residency

Pyramid Atlantic Art Center’s Keyholder Residency is a competitive opportunity for emerging to mid-career artists who want to have unlimited access to the studios in exchange for working 8 hours a week for Pyramid Atlantic. The residency is awarded to artists who hope to gain more knowledge and improve their skills in the printmaking, papermaking, or book arts studios. Two artists are selected twice a year by the Pyramid Atlantic artistic staff.

Housing is not provided, although, upon acceptance, artists will receive information on opportunities of nearby housing.

• Caring for studio equipment and tools
• Bringing their own consumable supplies (paper, ink, newsprint, etc.)
