Keith Haring walked so today’s queer creatives could run. Five local artists on why the new AGO show matters


It’s been 26 years, but Keith Haring is finally back in town.

The Art Gallery of Ontario has imported the “Keith Haring: Art Is for Everybody” exhibit from the Broad Museum in Los Angeles; the show started Wednesday and will run to March 17, 2024. The exhibition marks the seminal 1980s pop icon’s first major appearance in Toronto since 1997.

The AGO’s Keith Haring exhibition shows a young artist finding his voice, developing his artistic vocabulary and experimenting with mediums. A thread throughout is Haring’s activism, from his participation in anti-nuclear and anti-Apartheid demonstrations to his AIDS activism that is featured in the last gallery.
