Mystic Museum of Art Hosts Roy McLendon, Florida Highwayman Artist, on July 5

Roy McLendon - A History of the Florida Highwaymen – Outsider Artists of the Jim Crow South
 
In the early 1950’s through the 1980’s a group of twenty-six African-American artists known as the "Florida Highwaymen" used vivid and bright colors to display the beautiful untouched Florida landscape. One of the original Florida Highwaymen artists will present a history of this group of primarily self-taught artists, as well as tell first-hand accounts about some of his experiences as a Florida Highwayman. An informal reception will follow Roy's presentation.
 
$5 for members, $10 for non-members
