The Gateway Arts District

We understand this distinction can be very confusing, allow us to clarify the terminology: The Gateway Arts District is comprised of the four municipalities of Hyattsville, North Brentwood, Brentwood, and Mount Rainier along Route One. As such, there are four layers of information to be clear on when speaking of the "Gateway Arts District:" (1) The... re is the State recognized Gateway Arts & Entertainment (A&E) District, the tax-credit designation area by the State of Maryland; (2) There is a Prince George's County-designated development district overlay zone for land use and planning purposes within the Sector Plan that is much larger than the 286 acres that is the State recognized A&E District; (3) There is the misconception due to the private development that capitalizes on the (Gateway) Arts District with their name "Arts District Hyattsville;" (4) And finally, there's the Gateway CDC, a non-profit serving the towns of North Brentwood, Brentwood, and Mount Rainier. The Hyattsville CDC serves the City of Hyattsville as well as its surrounding service area, including the Gateway Arts District. Thus, for instance, while many refer to the "Hyattsville end of the Arts District," referring to the Arts District Hyattsville private development; or call the Gateway CDC or the Gateway Arts Center "Gateway," none of these are the "Gateway Arts District. They are independent entities. Visit our FAQ to learn moreRead More
