Presenting the fifth Florida Highwaymen Art Show & Sale! The art show is presented by the Boynton Beach
Historical Society in partnership with the City of Boynton Beach.
This group of African American artists painted their way out of a life otherwise destined for the citrus groves and
packing houses of 1950’s Florida, into the 2004 Florida Artists Hall of Fame and international acclaim. Selling doorto-
door or out of the trunks of their cars on the side of the highways, the mostly self-taught artists produced an
astonishing number of paintings that depict Florida as it once was, with wind-swept palms, billowing clouds, lazy
rivers, and spectacular sunsets. Today their work is widely sought by collectors all over the world.
These popular legacy Highwaymen artists will be on hand to discuss their artwork and will have paintings and other
merchandise available for purchase. Visitors will have the opportunity to speak to the artists individually and will enjoy
hearing their fascinating history. The artists scheduled to attend are Doretha Hair Truesdell and Roderick Hair,
Kandi Ingram (daughter of Mary Ann Carroll), Robert L Lewis, Al Black, Curtis Arnett, and Gertrude
Walker (wife of Charles Walker).
