A new art gallery and studio in Mount Rainier is showcasing local artists as well as teaching the arts.

Located at 3510 Rhode Island Ave., inside a renovated historic building, Station 3510 exhibits local art while also offering community workshops and teaching various art classes.

At one recent event, held in conjunction with New Brooklyn Farms and Diaspora Honey, kids aged 5 to 14 looked at real bees in a glass observation beehive, sampled honey and then made bee-inspired paintings. Another event slated for Sunday will feature paper weaving.

Station 3510 also regularly features exhibitions where you can buy from local artists, including “How to Day Dream,” which kicks off with an event from 6 to 9 p.m. tonight.

Both photographers, Jarrett Hendrix is the owner of the studio and art gallery, while Michael Ant serves as the Creative Director. They told the Hyattsville Wire that they had the idea for a combination studio/gallery/marketplace earlier this year which came together pretty quickly.

Station 3510 is located inside a building from 1947 that was fixed up by Daniel Simon, who also renovated the Palmer Building in Hyattsville currently occupied by Vigilante coffee.
