The City of Fort Pierce is proud to sponsor the Florida Highwaymen Museum Soft Opening Celebration on Friday, February 20, 2026, from 4–6 PM, at 1234 Avenue D, Fort Pierce.
This special event celebrates the legacy of the 26 original Florida Highwaymen, self-taught African American artists who used bold color and creativity to capture Florida’s natural landscapes during a pivotal time in history. Their work not only reflects artistic excellence but also preserves stories of resilience and culture.
The museum will feature original artwork from all 26 Highwaymen and offers the community an opportunity to experience this important cultural and historical legacy in one place.
