{{Main|Florida Highwaymen}}
Lincoln Park each February hosts a celebration of the artwork of the African-American collective of [[landscape artists]] formed in the 1950s. Local artist [[A.E. Backus]] mentored many of the artists at his gallery. Several of the artists got their start at Lincoln Park Academy under the leadership of teacher Zanobia Jefferson. Art historian Jim Fitch in 1994 gave the group the name of 'the Highwaymen'. Over the course of 2001 to 2020, Gary Monroe wrote several books on the artwork of the 26 artists known as Highwaymen (including one woman).<ref>[https://www.cityoffortpierce.com/702/Lincoln-Park-Revitalization-Project Historical Lincoln Park], City of Fort Pierce, Florida</ref><ref>[https://cityoffortpierce.com/501/Highwaymen-Heritage-Trail The Florida Highwaymen Legacy], City of Fort Pierce, Florida</ref><ref>A.E.
