Ancient Art Comes To Syracuse

Stacey Page  - 22/11/2012 When local artist Brian Whirledge reached a plateau in his craft, he sought a teacher who could instruct him further. Unfortunately, teachers of Byzantine art and music are few and far between, and hundreds of miles from his home in Syracuse.  But when this art teacher learned of the creativity grants for public school teachers offered by the Lilly Endowment, he submitted a proposal to study these ancient arts abroad.
