An Exhibition Celebrating the Family Bond
The Torpedo Factory Art Center invites visitors to explore the possibility of the existence of a "creative gene" with this special building-wide exhibition. Alongside their own work, participating studio artists will display work from artistic family members with whom they have a direct genetic connection, including visual artists, musicians, and writers. Click here for a list of participating artists. Lists will also be available to pick up at the information desk.

Mother's Day Reception
The exhibition will kick-off with a special Mother's Day opening reception on Sunday, May 9th, from 1-4pm. Moms and their families are invited to enjoy an afternoon of refreshments and festivities and meet the artists and their family members. Wine and sweets will be served and visitors may enter a free prize drawing for a chance to win tickets to an upcoming Shakespeare Theatre production.
