The magical marriage of Shakespeare and Turner!
Turner's "trademark", the vortex examined -
"The SNOWSTORM" the quintessential vortex.
Our 30th Anniversary Exhibition
Advised by Pissarro to see
the Turners in London, on 18 January 1898
Matisse set off from Paris on his honeymoon!
A Miraculous Convergence In The 1830's, for the first time in the history of art
we are able to demonstrate a dramatic convergence between Hokusai [1760 to 1849] and
Turner [1775 to 1851] . They co-existed on opposite sides of our planet for almost three-quarters of a century.
Or the tale of two forepaws;
two painters and two noblewomen.
Explore the birth of an original Turner print through
the multiple stages of its development. We show
several examples of this labor-intensive process.
We plan to show many more!
J.M.W.Turner (1775-1851) is admired by countless
millions for his sweeping panoramas, cataclysmic
landscapes, inimitable color-combinations and magnificent
skies. He was equally a master of small details, including
glimpses of every-day life. It is perfectly delightful to note
Those moments of everyday life have
not changes much in the last 200 years.
We at The Turner call them Cosmic Moments.
An exhibition celebrating Turner’s collaboration
with Sir Walter Scott, (1771-1832) Scotland’s world
famous bard and best-selling author.
EXHIBITIONS
Blog
a tentative list of our exhibitions planned for the coming years", these are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
How to become a sponsor of one or more of those exhibitions?
Step Two: Identify which and how many exhibitions you wish to be listed as PATRON
Step Three: Discuss by email or over the telephone [941.365.1649] the amount of commitment you
wish to make. - As a general guide, an "average"
exhibition, that is up to 15 exhibits, costs about $3,000 to organize and put on our website -
bigger exhibitions proportionately more.
[The Trustees generally contribute up to 50% of the actual costs. All sponsors are subject to
the approval of the Trustees.]
Step Four: send your agreed upon contribution via our Museum-Store's Shopping Cart, or send a
check or money order directly to P.O. Box 11073, Sarasota, FL 34278.1073 USA.
Our costs are but a tiny fraction of the cost of so-called "conventional"
art exhibitions in "brick and mortar" facilities. Exhibits on line are never a substitute to
viewing the originals but consider some of the many advantages sponsors of our exhibitions have:
1. Our exhibitions are on view "in perpetuity", that is for a minimum of ten years =
conventional exhibitions typically last only a few weeks or months.
2. Your investment is usually/automatically leverages 2 for 1, considering the Trustees
underwrite up to 50% of the expenses.
3. Our exhibitions show exciting features like highlighted DETAILS of exhibits, seldom featured
elsewhere.
4. We also feature theme-appropriate background MUSIC, rarely if ever available elsewhere on an
ongoing basis.
5. Visitors save the cost of admission and often expensive exhibition catalogs - on line
admission is FREE and our catalogs/commentaries are always available free of charge on line.
6. As exhibitions last "in perpetuity", your sponsorship - a perpetual reminder of your
generosity - is exposed to a larger number of viewers than most other venues.
7. Some or our exhibitions are bi-lingual - again rarely if ever available in other venues.
8. Should one or more exhibits catch your fancy, you can order, while still sitting in your
chair, certain originals or their giclee versions with just a couple of convenient clicks!
The Trustees invite you to seriously consider the many advantages of sponsoring our exhibitions.
