Join curator Gordon Wilkins for this webinar to explore the work of the Florida Highwaymen

The Florida Highwaymen was a loosely affiliated group of 26 African American landscape painters who sold their vivid and expressive tropical scenes door-to-door and out of the trunks of their cars along the coastal roads of Eastern Florida from the 1950s through the 1980s.

This exhibition will be on display at the Addison Gallery of American Art from September 9, 2025-January 4, 2026.

This program will be recorded. A link to the recording will be shared with everyone who registers.
