The Highwaymen Project

The Highwaymen Project is an upcoming feature film and multi-part documentary series about a group of self-taught African American artists in 1960s Jim Crow Florida. Using their talent and creativity, they managed to escape a life of hard labor by teaching themselves how to paint landscapes on left-over construction material. They captured the coasts and the rocky beaches of Florida, selling their works from their cars along U.S. Highway 1.

Join a conversation with producer and feature film director Todd Thompson, documentary series director Joy Kigin, Executive Producer and Civil Rights Attorney Benjamin Crump, and others closely connected with the project.

This free online program is presented by The National Arts Club.
