\nThe Collections:
\n
\nParker Collection 1:00PM -2:00PM Tour
\nThis massive and breathtaking art collection is housed in a stunning Kenwood 
\nduplex condo.  Over 30 years in the making, this collection includes works of art 
\nfrom the entire African diaspora, including an unrivaled collection of African art, 
\nartifacts and masks seldom seen outside of museums.  A portion of this fine 
\ncollection is memorialized in a must have reference book, “African American Art: 
\nThe Diaspora and Beyond” by Parker, a prolific collector, art historian, professor 
\nand lecturer. 
\nThe condo abounds with rich color and texture that creates a lush yet relaxing environment. At home among equally intriguing furniture and lighting, these beautifully choreographed and stunning paintings, sculptures and masks tell an intimate story. Viewers should plan to spend extra time at this venue which includes over 500 works of art that persuasively jostles for notice in the stairwells, hallways, bathrooms and kitchen.  This massive collection includes examples of work done by all of the 19 Diasporal Rhythms featured artists.

\nMcCoy Collection 2:00PM-3:00PM Tour
\nThis gorgeous North Kenwood condo is filled with a vast collection of art from the 
\nAfrican Diaspora and beyond – over 1100 works of art collected over more than 
\nfour decades.  Although there are many pieces collected during this collector's 
\ntravels across the Americas, Europe and Africa, the overwhelming majority of the 
\n300+ artists represented in the collection are from the Chicago area.  This unique 
\ncollection also includes examples of work done by 23 of the 24 Diasporal Rhythms 
\nfeatured artists.  
\nThis large, sun-filled space is beautifully decorated with sleek mid-century modern 
\nfurniture that complements the art that fills the space. Each piece of art is lovingly 
\nand intelligently arranged to create a harmonious installation that that wonderfully 
\nsurprises and entertains in one area, provokes thoughtful conversation in another 
\nand overall calms the spirit.  Arranged in mini-collections, the viewer will be 
\ncompletely enthralled with the entryway through to the living room, hallway, 
\nbathrooms and back porch – and don't ignore the ceiling.
