In keeping with its mission as a community-based art institution, the Edward E. Parker Museum of Art continues to explore ways to enrich the lives of artists, art students, patrons of the arts, and scholars whose research in the humanities relies upon collections that relate to the history of art. To that end, in recent months both Prof. Edward E. Parker and Museum Scholar Dr. Regennia N. Williams held preliminary discussions with the Cleveland Public Library’s Mr. Chatham Ewing (pictured above with Prof. Parker at the December 15, 2018, Holiday Open House event) about the museum’s manuscript collections and efforts to document the institution’s history and its ongoing work.
