Opening Reception | To My Friends at Horn: Keith Haring and Iowa City

Join us for the grand opening of the exhibition, To My Friends at Horn: Keith Haring and Iowa City.

Opening on Keith Haring’s birthday, this exhibition celebrates the artist’s legacy and honors the many individuals who shaped his visits to Iowa City during the 1980s. The 1989 mural Haring painted for Ernest Horn Elementary School, which is on loan to the Stanley Museum of Art during the school’s renovation, anchors the exhibition and is accompanied by other works of art, photographs, and archival ephemera.

Program begins at noon with opening remarks, followed by refreshments, music and an art making activity for kids. Event concludes at 3 p.m.

To My Friends at Horn: Keith Haring and Iowa City has been supported by generous grants from the Henry Luce Foundation and the Keith Haring Foundation with additional support from the Beth and Nate Tross Stanley Museum of Art Support Fund, the Tom Rocklin and Barbara McFadden Program Fund, the Don Heineking Fund for Exhibitions and Programs, the Friends of the Museum Fund, and the Members Special Exhibition Fund.
