Residents of the Route 1 corridor are invited to help paint a new mural on an underpass at the West Hyattsville Metro Station.

Beginning at noon on Saturday, June 18 at the station at 2700 Hamilton St., the mural painting will be led by Hyattsville residents Iman Abdul-Ali and Skuda Gold, who were chosen by a jury from a pool of 13 submissions.

The outline of the mural uses a grid technique that essentially allows members of the community to paint-by-numbers. The design features organic and geometric shapes representing the area’s nature and wildlife.

Guests are invited to bring bottled water, sunscreen, and outdoor chairs. Staffers on site with speak Spanish, and children under 14 are welcome with the supervision of an adult. The event will end at 5 p.m.

A similar event was held in 2017 at the West Hyattsville Metro, which is at the center of a major new development of shows, apartments and row homes.
