Through a series of colorful paintings, mixed-media installations, and interactive exhibits, the show brings to life the adventures, challenges, and dreams of Geo and his diverse group of friends as they navigate the bustling streets, hidden alleyways, and towering skyscrapers of their city. Each piece tells a story—whether it's a game of street basketball, a quiet moment on a fire escape, or the discovery of a secret rooftop garden—highlighting the beauty, resilience, and creativity of growing up in a place where every corner holds a new possibility. This exhibition is a celebration of community, diversity, and the universal experiences that shape us all.

Butta and Brushes is a creative, relaxed, and fun-filled experience where participants paint BUTTA Bears, a collection of adorable toy bears, each with unique features. The event is held in a cozy, art-focused space that invites both beginners and experienced painters to enjoy a sip of wine or a preferred beverage while painting.

Upon entering Station 3510, you'll find tables set up with Spray paint, brushes, and a palette of vibrant paints, with each station featuring a pre-sculpted BUTTA Bear toy. These bears are blank canvases, awaiting personalized designs, colors, and patterns. The event encourages participants to unleash their creativity and express themselves through various painting techniques, adding personality and flair to their bear.

Instructors are available to guide the group with tips on painting styles, color mixing, and finishing touches, while music plays softly in the background to enhance the relaxing atmosphere.

Layers of Scale is a surreal trip through emotion and memory, where papaver blooms symbolize desire, escape, and transformation. As an Afghan-American, I reflect on assimilation and displacement—experiences that shaped my sense of self in both positive and negative ways. The natural restrictions of assimilation sparked daydreaming and escapism, leading me to create a surreal perspective of myself as I navigate the hallucination of identity and transformation.

As summer ends, this Paint, Plant, and Sip will focus on houseplants and design exclusively for Children and Young Teens. In a unique blend of art and for the love of houseplants, Gardening and Beats, Black Box Botanical and Station 3510  proudly present The Organic Canvas: Farm-to-Frame, Paint, Plant, and Sip: I Love Houseplants Edition. This one-of-a-kind event specifically designed for children ages 5 to 14 is an innovative art experience that allows young artists to explore their creativity by painting on pots using vegetables and fruits to create their own unique houseplant pot, then planting a small houseplant to take home with them to care for and giving them their first foray into collecting houseplants. The event will occur on 9.14.24 at Station 3510 (3510 Rhode Island Ave., Mt Rainier, Maryland, from 11 AM to 2 PM). The cost for this event is $12 with a check out fee!

More than just an art event, this immersive, hands-on experience bridges the gap between nature and art. Children/Teens will use the vibrant colors and textures of farm and garden produce to craft their masterpiece pots for their very own plants. This hands-on approach nurtures their artistic skills and deepens their connection with the environment in an eco-friendly and sustainable manner, offering a delightful journey from the palette to the palate.
