The exhibition A Family Palette, circulated by the Ottawa Art Gallery, brings together, for the first time, the work of artists Frances-Anne Johnston, Franz Johnston, and Franklin Arbuckle – three members of the same family. The exhibition tells the story of a talented artistic family and sheds light on the ways Frances-Anne Johnston and her relatives have contributed to the development of Canadian art.
