A new mural is going up on the side of Pyramid Atlantic Art Center in Hyattsville.

Located on the alley side of the building at 4318 Gallatin St., the mural, which is slated to be finished by next weekend, will feature fluffy yellow clouds on a dark blue background.

D.C. artist John Ortiz, who has a studio at Pyramid Atlantic, is painting the mural with  artist Korey Richardson, who is an exhibit specialist at the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Ortiz’s recent print, “In Your Name We Rise George Floyd,” was recently added to the ephemera collection at the National Portrait Gallery, the National Museum of African American History & Culture, the Library of Congress as well as the Smithsonian Archives.

Kate Taylor Davis, executive director of Pyramid Atlantic, told the Hyattsville Wire that the mural, titled “The Sky’s the Limit,” uses the “iconography of different elements of printmaking” to reflect the nonprofit’s mission.

Pyramid Atlantic is paying for the mural with a grant from the city of Hyattsville.
