In 2004, 26 Florida Highwaymen artists were inducted
into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame. The Highwaymen,
self-taught artists who began painting in the mid-1950s,
overcame the social conditions of the Jim Crow South and
thrived as painters and entrepreneurs. Unable to sell their
works in galleries, they sold their paintings from the trunks
of their cars along Highway A1A. Join Stephenie Frasher
for an in-depth look at six of the 26 Highwaymen artists:
Alfred Hair, Al Black, Rodney Demps, James Gibson, John
Maynor, and Sam Newton. The lecture will feature closeup
looks at the artists' paintings, video clips of the artists
demonstrating their painting style, and personal tales of
being part of the Highwaymen.
