TURKS HEAD GALLERY TO COMMENCE ART
PROGRAM
Providence, RI — Turks Head Building in downtown Providence, Rhode Island
launches Turks Head Gallery today with the showing of an original interpretive and
collaborative mural titled “Birds and Waves”. The mural was created in a single day at a
RISD workshop on March 29, 2009 by hundreds of children and their parents. Cathren
Housley and her assistants made prints from the children’s artwork and created the mural.
The mural measures more than six feet in height and eighteen feet in length. Cathren said
that when we put our creative energy together, there is no limit to what we can do!
Turks Head Gallery will display the art work of local artists beginning today with
rotations occurring every 30 to 90 days depending on the program and time of year.
Turks Head Gallery is located in the lobby of Turks Head Building, a landmark office
tower located in the heart of Providence’s financial district.
“We’ve got great lobby space that is perfect for displaying art and with the best art school
in the country as our neighbor, there couldn’t be a better match. We think our office
tenants will love the changing displays while providing them with a great amenity as they
move through our lobby each day”, said Lisa Marrocco, Turks Head Building property
manager.
