Installation underway for: Highwaymen — From the Street Corner to the Smithsonian — Rare collection of artwork opens to the public at Elliott Museum this Saturday In the 1950s during the Jim Crow days, several African-American self-taught artists from the Treasure Coast began painting Florida’s vivid landscapes, looking for a better way to earn a livelihood. Coined as the “Highwaymen,” they sold their art out of their car trunks as they traveled the highways, which led to their nickname. Today, Highwaymen paintings have deservedly earned a place to hang in the Smithsonian, and all of the Highwaymen artists are represented in the Florida Artists Hall of Fame. The “Highwaymen—From the Street Corner to the Smithsonian” collection includes paintings that have never before been exhibited. While many of their paintings focus on well-known Florida landscapes, the focus of some of these exhibit paintings tell a story as they depict people from the 1950s era, animals and intimate vistas. There also will be an extensive "Canvas Board Wall" of their early works, including Harold Newton, one of the founding members, along with a Tribute Wall to Roy McLendon, who was inspired by Newton, his neighbor. The exhibit is generously sponsored by The Kiplinger Family Foundation, Henry & Rachelle (Rocky) Grady, Bill & Carole Hauke, The Law Offices of Travis R. Walker, P.A., and the Florida Department of State Division of Cultural Affairs. Opening weekend: 10 a.m.-5 p.m., March 11 and 12 at The Elliott Museum, 825 NE Ocean Blvd., Stuart. Featured throughout the weekend — live painting demonstrations by Roy McLendon, one of only seven living Highwaymen artists, gallery walks conducted by noted collectors Roger Lightle and Steve Carr, a film crew will be on site taking footage for a documentary, and a presentation and book signing by Catherine Enns, author of “The Journey of the Highwaymen.” If you can't make opening weekend, you have until July 14, 2023 to see it.
