A Serious Painter of Paintings: A William Park Retrospective:

We are extremely honored to be hosting William Park’s family for his retrospective show here at ADX during the month of November. Please join us for the opening night of the showcase on November 6th!

Join the family for an art sale to purchase exclusive art selections in person on November 7th and throughout the month!

“‘Park’s full immersion in the exploratory nature of creating his art was one of the traits that drew other artists into his circle. He exhibited in his work a kind of joy in restlessness’, (Laura) Vincent suggested: ‘He enjoyed painting birds,’ and bowls, circles, geometrical shapes, architecture: ‘Part of that was creating windows into other worlds.’”

From Oregon Arts Watch, April 2025

The show will feature a selection of physical works from the 1990s, when he began his full time investment as an artist, until 2025, the year of his passing. We will also be telling his story through his photographs, writings, and sketchbooks that illuminate his life as a sign painter, a collaborator, a friend, an artist, and everything in between. Whether you are a dear friend or you have recently learned about the story of William Park, we are confident that you will learn something new about his story, as we certainly have.

His story would not be complete without those that loved, cared for, and supported him. We hope to see you all in November.
