It's Almost Here!
Please come out to Lincoln Park on the Williams Elementary and Lincoln Middle School campus on June 14 & 15 anywhere between 10:00am - 8:00pm and experience African American cultural heritage through the arts. Many of our students will have art work on display in the children's art tent. Mr. Thomas and his band will be performing some wonderful Jazz. And very thrilling to me, is that 8 Highwaymen will be exhibiting! The Highwaymen were a group of young African American artists from Ft. Pierce who painted Florida landscapes and sold them of the side of the roads in the early 60s. There work hangs in the Governors office and is sought after by art collectors everywhere. This is the first time that this many from the group will be together since they were conducted in the Florida Artists Hall of Fame (floridahighwaymen.com)To know more about the festival visit jfestcentral.com
