SUMMARY:(In)visible Structures: Rebecca Rutstein Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the opening of (In)visible Structures\, a solo exhibition of paintings by Rebecca Rutstein. Enjoy a talk in the gallery by Rebecca Rutstein at 7pm. Light refreshments will be served.\nThis event is free and open to the public. Sign up at the link below for event updates. Walk-ins welcome!\n \nSign Up\n \nAbout (In)visible Structures\n(In)visible Structures is a solo exhibition of paintings by Rebecca Rutstein. Working at the intersection of art and science\, Rutstein’s artistic practice visualizes environmental processes that connect and sustain all life on earth despite being invisible to the naked eye. This exhibition draws from Rutstein’s established body of works inspired by oceanic voyages with scientists\, presenting her Kama’ehuakanaloa Series painted at sea during an expedition off the coast of Hawaii in 2023. Rutstein also presents two new paintings signaling her current artistic explorations: Brine Forest (2025) is a mesmerizing composition based on Rutstein’s artistic research with scientists studying the microscopic activity within salt channels in Arctic sea ice. Shape Shifter (2025) pulsates with a network of interconnected abstract patterns inspired by underground fungal networks that enable trees to communicate and are integral to the forest ecosystem. Rutstein’s works inspire contemplation and awe while also fostering knowledge and respect for the hidden processes at work in the natural world.\n(In)visible Structures is curated by Heather Moqtaderi\, Interim Director of Environmental Art\nWorks on view in this exhibition are Courtesy of the Bridgette Mayer Gallery

SUMMARY:Nowak Memorial Lecture | Founding Visions: A Journey of Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special lecture honoring Nowak’s legacy and exploring the power of collaboration with Reinvestment Fund.\n\n\n7th Annual Nowak Memorial Lecture \nFounding Visions: A Journey of Collaboration & Impact \nHow can mission-driven finance drive social change? The Penn Institute for Urban Research and Reinvestment Fund invite you to the Seventh Annual Jeremy Nowak Memorial Lecture. On this\, the 20th anniversary year of Penn IUR and the 40th anniversary of the origination of Reinvestment Fund\, we will reflect on the mission and impact of community development financial institutions and the leadership role played by Reinvestment Fund in these efforts. Speakers will examine how visionary leadership and partnerships can reshape communities for the better. \nThis discussion brings together three community development leaders and founding members of Reinvestment Fund—Pat Smith\, Joyce Wilkerson\, and Eva Gladstein—who will share their experiences in launching what was originally the Delaware Valley Community Reinvestment Fund. They will explore the economic and social conditions that motivated their work\, the challenges of building an institution dedicated to advancing equity through investment\, and the decision to bring on Jeremy Nowak\, a community organizer\, as the organization’s first President and CEO. Jeremy would later become a member of the Penn IUR Advisory Board. \nModerated by Dr. Katherine O’Regan\, Professor of Public Policy and Planning at the NYU Wagner School and Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy\, former HUD Assistant Secretary for Policy\, Development and Research\, Reinvestment Fund Board Member\, and Penn IUR Fellow\, this conversation will offer a rare\, first-hand perspective of the origin of this Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) by its founding members and the values that continue to guide its work—collaboration\, data-driven decision-making\, and a steadfast commitment to expanding opportunity in disinvested communities.
