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.

The Ozark Center for Lifestyle Medicine is hosting its monthly whole food plant-based (WFPB) potluck meal on the second Monday of each month, and we’d love to have you join us tonight!
This community event is a wonderful opportunity to savor beautiful, delicious, healthy food, learn more about plant-based eating, and meet folks who are wanting to take a proactive role in restoring their bodies to optimal health and vitality!
We will hear the stories of some who have experienced the power of a plant-based diet to heal, and you’ll have an opportunity to “ask the doc” of Dr. Morgan, a Lifestyle Medicine physician, any questions you may have about plant-based eating, and lifestyle medicine in general. Dr. Morgan will also give a short presentation on how Lifestyle Medicine can help treat, prevent, and reverse disease.
If you can make it, just bring a dish that is based on whole plants (with minimal to no oil and salt, and no animal products) to share. If you’re not the cooking type, feel free to bring some cut-up fruit or raw veggies. Anything real and minimally processed is welcome! We just want you to come!
Please feel free to invite anyone who may be interested in coming with you! (Your dish will cover for them). Also, if you have children, say 9 and up, who are interested in healthy living, feel free to bring them along as well!
