Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, Park Towne Place offers a robust and award-winning art program that includes rotational exhibits, engaging artist talks, and hands-on workshops. This complements an extensive permanent collection featuring 150 artworks from over 110 artists.
Located in the heart of Philadelphia’s cultural district on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, you’ll find fine art around every corner.
Curated by Mat Tomezsko, Taking A Line For A Walk, features artwork united by line as a formal and conceptual element. Spanning a diverse array of media, rich with associative qualities, the artwork consists of sculpture, assemblage, painting, and ceramics. However, each artwork can also be seen as drawing in space. Beginning with a chosen material, be it pipe cleaner, clay, plastic, or acrylic, each artist allows for the form and meaning to meander and fuse, becoming something spectacular and unique, always with an eye to the linear quality of the composition.

The Shape of Tomorrow highlights the work of five artists, all of whom’s work utilizes color and form to offer the viewer a chance to escape into abstract other-worlds. Throughout the galleries, the work of Charles Emlen, Greg Kelly, Tremain Smith, Larry Spaid, and John Howell White take unabashed joy in their included forms and color pallets to provoke the visual senses of the viewers.
