Art Works Now is pleased to announce the groundbreaking of their new home located at 4800 Rhode Island Avenue, Hyattsville, MD in the Gateway Arts District. The event, which takes place Saturday, July 18 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., is free and open to the public.
Through a dynamic public-private partnership between Art Works Now and Pizzeria Paradiso, Art Works Now will rehabilitate a long-abandoned florist shop and greenhouse on a blighted corner of the Gateway Arts District. The partnership’s collective goal is to support economic development and build a creative meeting place that enriches the entire community. At 4800 Rhode Island Avenue, Art Works Now will triple their space, continuing their commitment to providing community-focused arts programming.
Art Works Now’s private partner, Pizzeria Paradiso, will add another sit-down restaurant to the growing number of dining options in Hyattsville.
The event will include a ceremonial groundbreaking with Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker III and Maryland State Delegate William A. Campos along with several other County leaders, in attendance. A fun-filled morning of art activities will follow the groundbreaking ceremony to mark the occasion.
