Keith Haring was born in Reading, Pennsylvania on May 4, 1958. Haring was a social activist and an artist. After moving to New York City, at age 19, he found himself inspired by the street graffiti, which later influenced his unique style.  He was prominent in the social scene in New York’s East Village because he was actively involved in gay rights. His involvement influenced some of this art pieces(see below).

Some of his commercial ventures were designing for Swatch watches (1985); the Absolut Vodka advertisement (1986); and a Keith Haring Pop Shop (opened 1986)– which he sold T-shirts, posters, and other items. In 1988, Haring was diagnosed with AIDS. In 1989 he established the Keith Haring Foundation which  provided funding and imagery to AIDS organizations and children programs. Keith died of AID-related complications on February 16, 1990.

Check out some of his artwork.

The ancient Greeks said that the rainbow traveled with the messenger of the Gods. The messenger is named Iris. She flies on the rainbow and then she lifts the water from the rivers and oceans of the earth into the sky and it falls back to earth as rain. The Vikings believed that the rainbow connected heaven and earth. The Navajo says that the twin hero sons of the sun traveled into their father’s land by walking onto the rainbow. In Siberia the rainbow is the storm God’s bow and is used to shoot arrows of lighting. In Australia the rainbow is the great serpent of dreams. In the Bible the rainbow signals the end of rain and is God’s promise that the world will never be flooded again. The About Time crew believes that it symbolizes Franklin Avenue’s great success. Go community!

It was a sight to see! People stood still in amazement and drivers came out of their cars to take photos of the double rainbow that lit up Franklin Avenue yesterday!



A sign that should remind merchants & residents that Franklin Avenue is the place to be!
