HyBall 2020: Roadside Attraction Par-Tay at Pyramid Atlantic!

Who throws the *BEST* parties this stretch of the Route 1 Corridor? Why, Pyramid Atlantic, of course! Their HyBall (Hyattsville Ball) arts parties / fundraisers are notorious for producing the type of over-the-top fun that makes the morning after full of wonderful recaps, hilarious photo ops and perhaps momentary befuddlement, i.e. Did we really do that?!? Why did you let me do that? Let’s do that again next year! This year’s “Roadside Attraction” themed HyBall is happening on Saturday, February 29th. More on this wonderfully fun fundraiser and ticket information below!

New Mural by Rafael Rodriguez at ALDI Hyattsville

The newly renovated ALDI in Hyattsville is now even more brighter and beautiful thanks to a new mural by Hyattsville’s own Rodriguez Rafael, made possible by a public/private partnership between ALDI and the Prince George’s Arts & Humanities Council!

Brentwood Arts Exchange: “From Baltimore With Love”

Stopped by the Brentwood Arts Exchange lately? This gallery along the Route 1 corridor is a gem of a find – consistently full of  beautifully curated exhibits that give us both pause and wonder. And it’s free to thee. As many readers will have visitors in town over the holidays, we thought we’d highlight this gallery as a place to take folks to should you choose to explore your burgeoning creative side with Uncle Mikey or Aunty Shante. Or maybe you just head out by yourself.

Route 1 Gets New Mural in Downtown College Park

There’s a new mural in town – this time just above Nando’s Peri-Peri in College Park! This vibrant new public art just off the Route 1 corridor features native Maryland species including Baltimore’s Checkerspot Butterfly, Black-eyed Susan and a Diamondback Terrapin. (Notice, too, its incorporation of the Maryland flag’s gold, black, white and red colors.)
