'A Family Portrait' features artwork from the award-winning Turner family of Chicago. Turner artistic tradition started half a century ago with Josephine Curtis Turner and Robert (Bobby) Lee Turner. Their children, Jan, Robert, Phillip, and Beatrice have all gone onto a life in the arts and music. The family started their own gallery on Chicago's south side in the 1940s when Josephine Curtis exhibited her artwork in her mother's ( Mary Washington) living room when she was 10 years old. Phillip Turner encouraged the gallery in late 80s to expand, and they exhibited local and international artists. The exhibit will mark the first time the entire family has mounted an exhibition. This show will celebrate their creativity, as well show the diversity of their individual, and collective, styles. 'A Family Portrait' will also feature works by Phillip Parker-Turner and Teresa J. Parker, and portraits of family members Mary Washington, Margaret Curtis, Laverne and Jon Gill, Erika and Erin Turner also will be highlighted.
