Classes And Instruction By Brian Keeler

Brian Keeler has been periodically teaching residencies at area high schools as a rostered artist through the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) since 1998. Those members of high school art faculty that are interested in pursuing his portrait, landscape or still life painting workshops should contact the artist at bkeeler@epix.net.  For more information on the program, contact Brenda Thomas at the Bradford County Regional Arts Council (BCRAC) in Towanda, PA at brenda@bcrac.org or info@bcrac.org.

Brian, on occasion, has given weeklong painting intensives in the figure and landscape in his hometown or during weekend workshops for various art clubs.

Along with these he offers lectures on Renaissance art and his experiences painting and traveling in Italy.

On two separate years he has conducted a ten day and two week long painting workshop in Tuscany in the charming little hilltop medieval town of Barga. This workshop is really a great opportunity to learn, as well as experience the wonders of Italy while staying in the 18th century Palazzo Salvi, with an Italian cook preparing many of the scrumptious meals. The next scheduled trip will be in 2008.  To view a more in depth description of the previous Italian trip go to http://workshopsitalia.com/ or call Donna Magnani at (815) 337-0822 or dmagnani@mc.net.
