Artomatic returns for its signature free art event to be
held this year in Hyattsville, Maryland. Artomatic draws over 1000 artists and
performers throughout the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area to showcase their
talents for a six weeks long free exhibition that routinely attracts more than
75,000 visitors.
This year, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning
Commission (M-NCPPC) Department of Parks and Recreation welcomes Artomatic to
Prince George’s County in a 90,000 square foot space, located at 8100 Corporate
Drive in Hyattsville with a Halloween themed opening weekend celebration.
Artomatic is well-known for transforming empty spaces into
vibrant arts communities that create unique and exciting events for tens of
thousands of visitors - all free to visit. Anyone can show art at Artomatic -
it is non-juried and art is selected on a first-come, first serve basis - so
it’s a great way to discover new art. In addition to creative art, Artomatic also features a
plethora of performing art forms throughout the exhibition – live music, dance,
spoken word, comedy as well as professional development series and special
events showcases. Every night of the
event, thousands of people visit Artomatic to discover new art, grab a drink,
listen to music, go on dates, and mingle with the creative community. No matter
what kind of creative events you like, you’ll find something to like at
Artomatic.
“We’re excited to be working with the M-NCPPC, Department of
Parks and Recreation who, like Artomatic, understand the importance of art to
help foster community,” said George Koch, Founder and Chair Emeritus. “Our
diversity of artwork is unmatched because both emerging and established artists
present their work side by side, which helps attract the broadest range of
visitors.”
“It is our pleasure to host such a renowned art experience
in Prince George’s County which complements the numerous arts offerings of the
County and the Department of Parks and Recreation,” says Ronnie Gathers,
Director of the M-NCPPC, Department of Parks and Recreation. “Artomatic will
also help provide visibility for the thriving artists and art districts in the
community, like the Hyattsville Arts District.”
Visitors will enjoy easy access to Artomatic with the New
Carrolton METRO Station, as well as plenty of parking and bus stops nearby.
