Gallery of Art and Design at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith Presents Harold Keller ‘Portals’. The UAFS Gallery of Art and Design is excited to announce a recent major donation and accompanying exhibition coming this Fall 2023!
This first major exhibition on Harold Keller (1928-2017) will be based on a transformative donation of the artist’s work to the permanent collection. Consisting of over forty works including paintings, drawings, ceramics, and artist books, along with a collection of over three-hundred working drawings, the donation makes the university the largest repository of the artist’s work and the largest gift to the gallery to date.
"Harold Keller: Portals" will explore the artist’s whimsical style that fused the fantastic with the everyday. It will also commemorate his influence on the institution as both artist and professor, serving as the first full-time art professor at Fort Smith Junior College (now UAFS) from 1956-1962.
Opening reception September 8 from 6-8pm is free and open to the public!
