LUAG Family Workshop: Kay Haring, Author of Keith Haring: The Boy Who Kept Drawing

Join us for a special story time and workshop with Kay Haring, sister of iconic pop artist Keith Haring. After enjoying a reading of Keith Haring: The Boy Who Just Kept Drawing, stick around to chat with Kay and get your very own copy signed by the author! We will also create our own artwork inspired by the work of Keith Haring on display in the LUAG exhibition, Thinking through Drawing: Works on Paper, Drawings & Sketchbooks from the Collection and Community.

Register in advance.

This workshop is offered in partnership with Bethlehem Area Public Library.

About the book:

This one-of-a-kind book explores the life and art of Keith Haring from his childhood through his meteoric rise to fame. It sheds light on this important artist’s great humanity, his concern for children, and his disregard for the establishment art world. Reproductions of Keith’s signature artwork appear in scenes boldly rendered by Robert Neubecker. This is a story to inspire, and a book for Keith Haring fans of all ages to treasure.

About the author:
