Year:

Keith Wasserman is a multidisciplinary artist and educator whose career spans visual art, film, music, and youth-centered arts education. His collage work explores what Keith calls “The Deep Wink” — that goosebump moment when coincidence feels like a collaboration with the universe. His festival award-winning documentary Dear Ani (2023), which aired on Vermont PBS, traces obsession, connection, and the transformation of delusion into art. As KB Whirly, Keith has traveled the country creating acclaimed music for kids that adults can love; his debut album received a Parents’ Choice Award.
