KUTZTOWN, Pa. – High school and college students in Kutztown gathered for a celebration of art and fitness Thursday.
Kutztown University celebrated its second annual Keith Haring Day with a little friendly competition.
Students tried out activities at the school’s Keith Haring Fitness Court.
Haring, of course, was born and raised in Kutztown and went on to become a world-famous artist before his death in 1990 at age 31.
Organizers say today’s event aimed to bring people together.
“It was all about having a project where we introduced our campus community and our local community to fitness. Kind of bring us together in a collaboration. That’s why the facility is located right on the border, right at a cusp of the university and the local community,” said Duane Crider, professor of sports management.
The free-to-use fitness court is one of only 10 in the country.
