Events at The Station
3711 Studios Presents: “Always Open” - Opening Reception
Always open is a group exhibition by ten artists working out of 3711 Studios, united by a single constraint: each artwork must incorporate the same shared color. Inspired by the studio’s playful branding and visual language, the exhibition treats color not as a limitation, but as a point of connection. Across painting, graphic design, and mixed media, one hue becomes a vibrant study in individuality within community. Like a convenience store that never truly closes, 3711 Studios is shaped by artists working at all hours. Some arriving early, others late, making the studio a constantly open site of exchange and creation.
Though each artist approaches the color differently, together the works form a cohesive visual experience that reflects the collaborative spirit of a shared studio practice: Ten voices, one frequency.

First Name Only: A Solo Exhibition by Jona Monet
First Name Only is a visual origin story - ancestral, autobiographical, and sovereign. This exhibition navigates the space between memory and myth, mapping the artist’s journey through lineage, grief, and reclamation.
Drawing from her Gullah-Geechee, Seminole, and Cherokee roots, Jona Monét uses photography, painting, ritual, and sacred geometry to build a language of visual testimony. The exhibition’s title is a meditation on names - not as labels assigned by history, but as inheritances that precede it. A quiet refusal of imposed identity, a mirror held to selfhood before history reframed us.
This work does not seek approval or explanation. It offers presence. It invites remembrance. And it asks, simply:
Who were you before the world told you who to be?
