Vita Paper Arts Residency Spring 2027

Description

Gregory Vita (1990-2017) was a dedicated, perseverant, talented papermaker, paper marbler, bookmaker, and printmaker. At Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, he wore many hats: resident artist, teacher, skateboarder, and friend you could run your wildest art ideas by.

-A one-month residency in Pyramid's paper studio
-Key to studios and 24-hour access
