Join us for a Meet & Greet Reception with Lori Evensen (Lori Evensen) on Tuesday, June 30 from 6 – 7:30 pm. We’ll be celebrating the new exhibition and learning more about her practice.

Then, on Saturday, July 18, from 2 – 4 pm, join us for a workshop led by the artist. We’ll be learning from Evensen’s studio techniques. No experience required, all materials provided.

Evensen is the current Park Towne Place artist in residence, where her exhibition, “What is Art?” is currently showing in the Artist Studio.

Born and raised in central Pennsylvania, Lori Evensen has been creating art since she was under the age of two.  While studying at Tyler School of Art at Temple University, Lori spent a semester studying abroad in Rome and Tunisia, an experience that significantly refined her artistic vision. 

Says the artist, “The works in this exhibition combine man-made elements with organic and natural materials to create contrast and visual dichotomy. The world we live in is shaped by these opposing forces coexisting, and my artwork reflects that balance. Found objects such as bottle caps, feathers, and other unexpected materials are often incorporated to challenge traditional ideas of what art can be. Grand universes can exist within tiny, unsuspecting objects.”

Artwork by DeJeonge Reese () is currently on view at Park Towne Place as part of “At Its Root,” which features local artists who examine the meaning of origin, ideas of home, and the construction of identity, honoring the people and history that make Philadelphia what it is today.

DeJeonge Reese (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist and educator from Yeadon, PA, whose work uses material exploration to tell stories rooted in Black history, ancestry, and identity.

Says the artist, “I draw from archival sources, oral histories, and family research, translating inherited knowledge into contemporary forms. Rather than presenting history as fixed or distant, I approach it as something embodied, carried, and continuously reshaped.

Black hair is a central material in my work, functioning as fiber, archive, and connector. I pair it with materials such as burlap, fabric, and found objects to create layered narratives of migration, labor, care, survival, and identity. Each material choice is intentional—reflecting the ways cultural knowledge can be passed down through objects, and oral histories.”

Reese has exhibited in Philadelphia, New York, and beyond and is a 2023 Mural Arts Philadelphia Black Artist Fellow and the current Fibers/Textile Coordinator for Arrowmont’s Spring Pentaculum.

At Its Root is part of Radical Americana, a citywide initiative organized by The Clay Studio that unites Philadelphia’s leading arts and cultural institutions through a series of exhibitions showcasing research-driven work by contemporary artists. These exhibitions celebrate the city’s historic role in shaping America’s cultural identity, civic life, and creative spirit, while inviting reflection and dialogue about the nation’s present and future.
