On Father’s Day weekend, treat your dad to an art-making workshop with Keith Duncan, exploring Keith Duncan: Battle of the Bands. Show your school pride by creating a mixed media portrait inspired by your high school or university marching band.
The day begins with an artist-led tour of Keith Duncan: Battle of the Bands. Back in the classroom, participants learn the basics of figure drawing and select their favorite band member. Does the drum major steal the show or are you fascinated by the dancers’ steps? Portraits are finished with color pencils, paint markers and a selection of patterned paper.
All materials are provided.

Join the O todayAbout Keith Duncan:
Keith Duncan was born in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana in 1967. He received a BFA from Louisiana State University and an MFA from Hunter College (CUNY) New York, NY. Duncan is recognized as a visual storyteller who draws inspiration from personal narrative, community engagement, news media, art history, Black culture and the tradition of New Orleans. In his latest body of work, Duncan celebrates the vibrant tradition of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) marching bands and band culture. The exhibition features large-scale fabric paintings of fifteen Southern HBCU bands, along with human-scale fabric paintings and smaller works on paper depicting each band’s drum major.
