This month’s featured artist.
Gregory Park
Greg first came to Weingart Center via our interim housing programs. Today, he is a resident at Weingart Tower, Weingart Center’s permanent supportive housing development in downtown Los Angeles.
Greg is a talented artist and enjoys taking part in WeingART WORKs. Greg creates great works of art in a variety of mediums — from acrylics on canvas to fabric paintings to illustration works. Greg’s work is often freeform and is just as vivid as his bubbly personality.
“The art room is spectacular. I enjoy the time I'm here because it's a breath of fresh air. It's very pleasant that I have a comfortable and calming environment to execute my craft."
