When we visited the Columbia Museum of Art for Keith Haring: Radiant Vision, we were immersed in a world alive with color, movement, and meaning. The exhibition showcases Haring’s unmistakable style and enduring message of love and activism.

Highlights include:

  • Vibrant drawings, silkscreens, and posters spanning his prolific career
  • Iconic imagery like radiant babies, barking dogs, and dancing figures
  • Powerful themes exploring equality, community, and hope
  • Rare pieces that capture his influence on pop culture and social change

We left inspired by how Haring turned public art into a universal language of joy and resistance. Keith Haring: Radiant Vision is on view through Feb. 15, 2026, at the Columbia Museum of Art.
