"Against All Odds"

Paintings by the Highwaymen


 Now nationally known, the Highwaymen began as a group of African American artists who, against all odds, managed to prosper selling their paintings in the segregated South of the 1950s and 1960s. One charismatic man dreamed big and developed a fast method of painting that he generously shared with 25 others, and they collectively produced over 200,000 paintings over a 30 year period. Learn about their fascinating story in The Highwaymen exhibit and see 26 of their breathtaking paintings.

Exhibition on loan from the Orange County Regional History Center.   Free Admission.
