Harold Keller exhibition opens in newly renovated Porter Art Warehouse gallery

The newly renovated Porter Art Warehouse in Fayetteville, Arkansas, will host its first signature exhibition, "Harold Keller: Portals," from January 15 to March 8, 2025. The show features works by Harold Keller, an artist and educator whose career spanned over seven decades, curated by Matthew Bailey from the University of Arkansas Fort Smith Collection. The exhibition includes paintings, drawings, ceramics, and artist books drawn from the largest repository of Keller's work, housed at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith, where he taught in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The Alexander Gallery, named for philanthropists Bob and Becky Alexander, opened in October 2024 after a $1 million exterior restoration by the city and a $950,000 interior renovation by Walton Arts Center.
