Foothills Art Association

May 4th Birthday salute to artist Keith Haring (1958-1990). Throughout his career, Haring devoted much of his time to public works, which often carried social messages. He produced more than 50 public artworks between 1982 and 1989, in dozens of cities around the world, many of which were created for charities, hospitals, children’s day care centers and orphanages. The now famous Crack is Wack mural of 1986 has become a landmark along New York’s FDR Drive. Visit his foundation website at https://www.haring.com/!/introduction
