The Turner House is the home of a collection of Texas art and acts as gallery space for public viewing of special art exhibitions. The house is occasionally also used for performances and other events to promote the arts. In addition, to raise money for the restoration and maintenance of Turner House and for the preservation and restoration of the art collection, the facility is occasionally made available for private events. Because of the historic nature of the house, there is a limited number of dates available for private use and all guests must adhere to house policies intended to protect the house and the art.
