Curator Jim Fitch with
Some Students
MOFAC was responsible for the
discovery of the Highwaymen,
a group of black artists from
the east coast of Florida who
marked the beginning of
the state's contemporary
art tradition.
Curator Jim Fitch, invites you to
witness Florida culture reflected
in its art. In his own words
" Floridians, both natural and
naturalized, have awakened
to a sense of their identity
and laid claim to an art
tradition that is uniquely
their own. "
