LEGACY
Featuring artists Alonzo Adams & Kyle Adams
Hosted by Alonzo Mourning
Legacy Tour is a powerful, intergenerational artistic experience celebrating the creative brilliance, heritage, and shared vision of a father and son. Featuring the extraordinary work of Alonzo Adams and Kyle Adams, and hosted by Alonzo Mourning, this special event honors the ways in which artistry, identity, and cultural memory are carried forward through lineage.
A Father & Son Creative Dialogue
Alonzo Adams, one of the leading figurative artists of his generation, is renowned for his emotionally rich portrayals of Black life—images that speak to love, resilience, dignity, and the everyday beauty found in community. His work reflects a commitment to truth and storytelling that has shaped contemporary African-American art for over three decades.
His son, Kyle Adams, brings a modern, expressive voice shaped by today’s cultural moment. His dynamic color palettes, reimagined forms, and innovative textures push the family’s creative conversation into new territory—asserting that legacy is not static but evolving, expanding, and redefining itself with each new generation.
Side by side, their works form an unbroken dialogue:
a father’s foundation meeting a son’s fresh perspective;
tradition intersecting innovation;
heritage moving boldly into the future.
The Legacy Tour is guided by the presence of Alonzo Mourning, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer and longtime advocate for cultural empowerment. Known for his commitment to mentorship and community uplift, Mourning’s role adds depth and resonance to this celebration of Black excellence across generations.
His leadership underscores the central idea of the Legacy Tour:
that greatness is passed forward — nurtured, guided, and grown across time.
A Celebration of Artistic Lineage
The Legacy Tour invites guests to witness a rare intergenerational exhibition where two artistic voices—rooted in kinship and cultural pride—speak to each other and to us. It is a celebration of:
Heritage and continuity
The power of shared creative vision
Black artistic excellence across generations
The stories we inherit, protect, and push forward
This is more than an exhibition—
it is a moment of connection, reflection, and celebration of what it means to build legacy through art, family, and community.
