DPG Rec Reimagines Gallery as Community Hub

This summer, the David Petersen Gallery becomes DPG Rec — a vibrant, community-driven art space inspired by childhood rec centers, where athletes, protest art, and playful gatherings collide. Owners David Petersen (tennis instructor) and Jesse Willenbring (marathoner) bring their love of movement and connection to life with exhibits by Marcus Jahmal, Natalie Mazzaral, Wing Young Huie, and KingDemetrius Pendleton. Opening day features a 5K run, a lively afternoon party with hot dogs, cribbage, and dice games — all under the banner of fun, interaction, and shared energy. Rooted in their own memories of neighborhood recs and the gallery’s community-rich location, DPG Rec reimagines art as an active, inclusive experience — not just something to look at, but something to live in.
