Keith Haring in 3D is the first exhibition to highlight Keith Haring’s work in three dimensions, inviting visitors to move through, around, and within his art like never before. In the course of his short life, Keith Haring transmitted across a dizzying range of creative channels: painting, sculpture, installation, video, murals, performance, printmaking, early digital art, and more. While Haring helped define the look and mood of the 1980s, he also saw clearly a future that has become our present.
Haring is typically thought of as primarily a two-dimensional artist, but Keith Haring in 3D focuses on a lesser-known and highly compelling aspect of Haring’s practice as a sculptor. He created hundreds of three-dimensional artworks, beginning with painting objects he found in the street. Eventually, Haring made monumental sculptures in wood and metal, and even a whole store for his art.
Haring was, above all, a master of line, with an instinctive ability to compose on multiple scales. Haring’s work in three dimensions has never been the focus of a major exhibition and has rarely been shown. Keith Haring in 3D will fill this gap in public understanding by showcasing a wide range of Haring’s works, including sculpture, totems and masks, skateboards, clothing, boomboxes, paintings, drawings, and even a 1963 Buick Special. The exhibition will be accompanied by a major book published by Phaidon/Monacelli.

This 6-week course introduces students to making pottery on the wheel and engages every stage of the ceramic cycle. It begins with throwing wet clay into basic forms like bowls and cups, then moves into trimming and modifying those leather-hard pieces, and finally glazing them. At the end of the course participants will be able to take home their finished, functional, handmade works of art.
Classes meet every Thursday from 6PM-8PM for 6 weeks, starting September 17th and ends October 22nd.

Raine's Bio: Raine Ransom was used to working in 3D spaces long before they started pottery. Initially a 3D artist for video games, Raine loved interacting with any object they could get their hands on to dissect and recreate its appeal. Moving from San Francisco, CA, they decided to pick up working with clay to help their work online but ended up falling in love with the challenge of the craft. They started throwing on the wheel in 2023 and since then they've been diligently honing their skills in order to make beautiful and unique pottery using Wild Clay they personally harvested and processed. Now, they teach ceramics to other students at multiple studios such as the Community Creative Center, Mount Sequoyah, and Imagine Studios. Raine is a current Mount Sequoyah Clay Studio member and has been excited to join the community.
