First Friday with Brian Keeler

Keeler will demonstrate the process of doing the alla prima, or one sitting oil portrait, from a live model. Keeler’s model will be our own Roger Luther, Broome County Historian!

Guests will be able to enjoy Keeler’s current exhibit, on display until August 28th, in the ballroom. He will be painting Roger in the Mansion’s front parlor, right under the portrait of the original owner of the house, Sherman David Phelps. Guests can explore the first floor of the mansion, which will have several of Keeler’s larger paintings on display.

The demo is free and open to the public, 6-9PM, and is offered as part of Binghamton’s First Friday, a monthly art walk hosted by the Broome County Arts Council.
