History Center presents A Day with the Florida Highway

  • When: Saturday, May 6, 2023, 10:00 am -  3:00 pm
  • Location: Orange County Regional History Center
  • Cost: Free

Join us for this special celebration of the Florida Highwaymen: the group of 26 African American artists who broke from the conventions of the Jim Crow South in the 1950s and ’60s to paint and sell their now-iconic landscapes of Florida. Three of the original Highwaymen – Curtis Arnett, Al Black, and Robert Lewis Jr. – are slated to participate, along with second-generation painters Robert Lewis III and Roy McLendon Jr.
Art from the History Center’s Highwaymen Kids program will also be on display, and visitors can participate in Florida Highwaymen-themed family activities from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free, and guests can enjoy the History Center’s four floors of exhibits and Highwaymen selections from its own collections as well.
