A Mount Rainier art gallery is looking to add another building-sized mural to the Route 1 corridor.

Located at 3510 Rhode Island Ave., inside a renovated historic building, Station 3510 is working with the Mount Rainier Arts Commission to find an artist this month.

Up to three finalists will receive a $600 stipend to develop a proposal for the building wrap, with the finalist receiving $17,500 plus expenses to complete the mural.

The mural, which is planned to last for at least 10 years, will be seen by tens of thousands of people who drive past that stretch of Route 1.

Station 3510, which opened in the summer of 2024, runs community workshops and art classes along with exhibitions from local artists.

The gallery 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.

Mural proposals are due Feb. 24.
