User:Taliaelizabeth/The Post Family

The Post Family is a Chicago-based artist collective that aims to inspire and support each other and their communities by “supplying them with the resources and inspiration to accomplish their individual goals.” The Family is comprised of seven members (Alex, Chad , Davey , David , Rod , Sam , & Scott ) who share studios, exhibition space, and creative counsel. The family posts artwork, artists, exhibitions, studio tours, and occasional products on their blog, thepostfamily.com. They also have a small online store that sells prints and artwork to support their exhibitions and projects. The Family’s gallery space, The Family Room hosts monthly exhibitions of works by collective members or outside artists.

The Post Family’s name is of somewhat mysterious origin, though it seems to reference both the act of ‘posting’ on their blog, the idea of the post-nuclear family, and perhaps a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the traditional family values of Emily Post.
