It was the 1980s, and he participated in the nuclear disarmament movement and anti-apartheid movements and was a vocal activist during the HIV/AIDS crisis. It was 1982, and 24-year-old artist Keith Haring was being handcuffed and escorted out of the New York City subway, where he'd been drawing cartoonish chalk figures on the walls before ads could be put up over them. This was his routine, creating as many as 30 drawings a day, each taking only a minute or so to complete. His style was fast-paced and very pop culture, and his art wasn't for the art world elite.
"Keith's quiet, focused, single-minded demeanor belied his boundless energy, accessibility and marvelous magnetism," Weinberg said. "He was a Pied Piper. He loved working with young people; he made a drawing for each of the participating students as gifts." Weinberg remembered Haring working with elementary school students to produce sets and costumes for the Walker's 1984 ArtFest Celebration, which the Walker will re-create as a three-day fest starting May 30.
