About the Exhibition
Location:
The University of Arkansas – Fort Smith’s Gallery of Art and Design (UAFS Gallery of Art and Design)

The exhibition explored the artist’s witty and erudite style that fuses the fantastic with the everyday. It commemorated Keller’s influence on UAFS as both an artist and teacher, serving as the first full-time art professor at Fort Smith Junior College (now UAFS) from 1956 – 1962.
Additionally this exhibition celebrated a major donation of the artist’s work to the permanent collection. The donation includes over 40 paintings, ceramics, drawings, and artist books along with 300 of the artist’s working drawings making the UAFS Gallery of Art the largest repository of the artist’s work.
