Welcome to the Pyramid Post!
While our artists are unable to meet or come to Pyramid in person because of the Coronavirus (Covid-19), we will be using this page to share what we’re all doing from home, and to offer opportunities for people to get involved.
Pyramid is a collective of 150 artists with and without learning disabilities. We invest in people with learning disabilities through the discovery, development and disruption of the arts.
We support many highly accomplished artists, but this locked down world is new to all of us, so on this page we will be sharing many experiments and attempts to find new ways to communicate.
We are all discovering new ways to work together.
There’s lots more to come so keep checking back!
If you have any questions or want to get involved, you can email info@pyramid.org.uk or phone 0113 234 6040.
