Evan Hopkins Turner, former director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, dies at 93 Valerie Russ, The Philadelphia Inquirer
Evan Hopkins Turner, 93, an art historian who was director of both the Philadelphia Museum of Art and, later, the Cleveland Museum of Art, died Thursday, Dec. 17, from congestive heart failure at his home in Philadelphia.
Dr. Turner came to Philadelphia after a directorship at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 1964. He succeeded Henri Marceau as director of Philadelphia’s museum and remained director until 1978.
His dedication to art came from both from his academic studies, which included three degrees including a doctorate in art history from Harvard, and also through his family legacy.

Live performances of songs from films, a career tribute for filmmaker Denys Arcand moderated by five-time New York Emmy award winner Jeffrey Lyons and an in- depth case study of documentary filmmaking from Sara Nodjoumi and Lisa Kleiner Chanoff are among the highlights of the Bahamas International Film Festival (BIFF) running online from January 4-10, 2021.
“I was humming and hawing about hosting a physical event, with so many restrictions and uncertainty,” says BIFF founder and executive director Leslie Vanderpool. “Even though filmmakers want to attend, I would not want them to fly all this way and there be another curfew or lockdown.”

I got one good frame off as he ran by, but it was the response I got from Lamothe when he saw the image that ran in the West Island section of The Gazette that I really loved. OMG? I ve been running for nine years and did more than 80 races in that nine-year span and I have a lot of pics, but none come even close to this one . there s no words to describe this . I ve never seen anything like it . thanks a million Dave . I m speechless. That compliment left me speechless. jp

.-Over the Influence presents New Solitude, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Erik Parker. The exhibition opened on 28 November and will run until 09 January 2021.
Brooklyn-based artist Erik Parker has risen in the art world as a singular voice of dissent, resistance, and complaint, humorously expressed in vibrant, playfully appealing visual narratives. His rebellious and youthful paintings are jam-packed with reference material in compositions that exploit todays familiar feeling of overstimulation. Parkers practice has always touched on politics and the 24-hour news cycle of contemporary media, and his upcoming exhibition at Over the Influence, Hong Kong is no different.
