For her first exhibition Adaptive Reuse: Loretta Park in Philadelphia, at Cherry Street Pier presents a series of new works, anchored by her Fighting Sticks series. Cherry Street Pier, a landmark that exemplifies adaptive reuse, is a testament to the creative potential of reinvention. Just as the historic pier has been reimagined as a vibrant center for artists and community, Park’s sculptures demonstrate how materials can be given new purpose through acts of making. Rich in color, texture, and unexpected forms, the works invite viewers to reconsider the everyday, not as something to discard, but as a source of possibility, beauty, and transformation.

Opening Reception

Fri, Aug 7 · 6 PM–8 PM

Free and open to the public, join the curator and artist to celebrate the opening. There will be a cash bar and Philly Taco Truck.
