MIDWAY, Fla. (WTXL) -- Goodwood Museum and Gardens will present an unique Louisiana-styled event for attendees on Thursday, May 4 starting at 6 p.m, called Collectors and Crooks.
The event is centered around Clementine Hunter, who has 48 vibrant pieces of art displayed at the museum that are a part of the Fine Art, Folk Art exhibit.
Hunter's artwork was involved in a forgery case that was investigated by FBI Agent, Randolph Deaton and Tom Whitehead, who is an author, friend of Hunter, and a recognized expert on her work.
During the event, both Whitehead and Deaton will discuss how they identified a team of crooks forging Hunter's work.
Hunter's art tells the stories of the lives and works of African American families at the Melrose Plantation near Natchitoches, Louisiana.
