Off the Page: Gary Monroe

Author and photographer Gary Monroe presents a visual lecture on the Florida Highwaymen at the Betty J. Johnson North Sarasota Library. As part of the Off the Page program, Monroe will examine the legacy of the mid-century African American landscape painters who sold their artwork from the trunks of their cars along Florida's eastern coast. The discussion highlights the artists' distinct brush techniques, entrepreneurial spirit, and lasting impact on regional culture.
