Though he later became inextricably linked with the New-York City art scene, Keith Haring spent his childhood in Kutztown, a small Dutch farm community in Pennsylvania. He never forgot his roots and made a habit of introducing himself as ‘Keith from Kutztown’.

“Kutztown has its good points. Excessive amounts of love and sanity. Precise order. Fresh air. A different background noise… still a hum but a softer, more natural buzz. Time to contemplate, time to reflect and dream.”
