SUMMARY:The Florida Highwaymen
DESCRIPTION:At a time of profound social and economic change\, the Florida Highwaymen dared to navigate the American Dream. \nThe Florida Highwaymen were 26 self-taught African American artists who began painting in the 1950s and 60s\, capturing Florida’s landscapes in bold color. They sold their paintings along highways and door-to-door\, creating a legacy of creativity and perseverance that helped define Florida’s visual identity. Their depictions of royal poinciana trees\, marshes\, and coastal sunsets not only document Florida’s natural splendor but also stand as a testament to the artists’ determination and spirit in a period of profound social change. \nThis exhibition\, drawn from the esteemed Walker Collection\, is a rare opportunity to view works by all 26 recognized Highwaymen together. The Walker Collection represents one of the most comprehensive private holdings of Highwaymen paintings in the world. Assembled with care and vision\, the exhibition honors each artist’s contribution and preserves the spirit of this remarkable movement in Florida’s art history. \nEXHIBITION DETAILS \nThe Florida Highwaymen: Selections from the Walker Collection  \nJanuary 25 – March 29\, 2026 \nMuseum of Art DeLand  |  100 N. Woodland Blvd. DeLand\, Florida \nAdmission: Members Free  | Future Members $10 \n  \nImage: Mary Ann Carroll\, Old Blue Backwater\, Undated
