Keith Haring Forum
April 17, 2010
Forum: The Keith Haring mural – yesterday, today, tomorrow.
"In 1984, American artist Keith Haring visited Australia and painted a mural on the side of the Collingwood Technical College in Johnston Street. Since then, Haring has become internationally recognised as an artist of great significance and the Collingwood mural has been placed on the Victorian Heritage Register.
A legacy of Haring’s visit to Melbourne and his life’s work, this mural has become a local icon. This forum is an opportunity to find out more about this work and discuss the mural’s history and its future. The forum will feature a special presentation of information from The Keith Haring Foundation."
