December 1 - January 10, 2025
Opening on World AIDS Day, Drawn Together: A Tribute to Keith Haring and AIDS Activism invites community members of all ages and artistic abilities to create pieces in the spirit of renowned artist Keith Haring. Emerging from New York City's vibrant graffiti scene in the 1980s, Haring’s art brought urgent attention to AIDS awareness, blending captivating aesthetics with powerful social messages.
In advance of the exhibition, CAMP Rehoboth will host a workshop on Saturday, November 23, from 1:00-4:00 p.m. in the Elkins-Archibald Atrium. Led by artist Jane Knaus, this hands-on session will introduce participants to Haring’s legacy and his iconic style. Attendees will receive instruction and all materials needed to create their own works, which will be featured in the exhibit. Artwork made at home can also be delivered for inclusion. This workshop, limited to 20 participants, is free, but advance registration is required.
Join us as we honor Keith Haring’s legacy and raise awareness through art. The exhibition coincides with CAMP Rehoboth's World AIDS Day commemoration on December 1, underscoring our mission of community connection and social impact.
