Trinity

True to its name, the Arts District Hyattsville development has its own public art.

EYA, the developers behind the west side of the project, installed a sculpture in 2011 on a courtyard off Longfellow Street.

Called “Trinity,” the 80-by-60-inch stainless steel sculpture was created by North Carolina artist Michael Baker.

Baker has had public art installed around the country, including a piece in Alexandria, Va.

The sculpture was selected by EYA from a group selected by Artists Circle Fine Art, a Maryland company that helps businesses find art.

“We presented a portfolio of a dozen or so various sculptures that were the appropriate size and budget for the project,” explained Artists Circle project manager Katie Giganti in an email. “Unlike galleries, we don’t represent a specific pool of artists.  For each project we go out and find the art/artist that is the right answer for the space.”

The sculpture was installed last May after Baker drove it up from North Carolina.
