Keith Haring (1958–1990) was an artist and activist who used his art to speak out on various social issues. He was one of the most famous young artists, filmmakers, and musicians whose work responded to the urban culture of the 1980s. Diagnosed with AIDS in 1988, Haring established the Keith Haring Foundation in 1989 to raise funding. The foundation's mission is to support, develop, and protect the legacy of Keith Haring's art and ideals. The foundation supports organizations that help disadvantaged children, as well as those involved in HIV and AIDS education, research, and care.
