Sharon Cosgrove: Ethereal Transformations
The Everhart Museum is pleased to present the work of Wilkes-Barre-based artist and Wilkes University Art Professor Emerita Sharon Cosgrove. Cosgrove’s images force the viewer into focusing on the moment, something lost in the modern world where focus seems lost to the constant barrage of the what’s next. Cosgrove’s ethereal works shift the viewer’s perception by not only inviting the viewer into her world, but also sharing in the infinite possibilities of time, stillness, and balance. Her work resides in the shadows between the canvases’ concrete images and the viewer’s perception.
Cosgrove is one of Northeastern PA’s most accomplished and respected artists, her work having been exhibited extensively nationally and internationally.

Artwoven by Hand: The Work of Peg McDade (1937-2025)
The Everhart Museum is honored to celebrate the life and legacy of Peg McDade, a master fiber artist, devoted educator, and treasured friend. Born in Scranton, Peg devoted her life to the tactile beauty of weaving, felting, and dyeing, infusing every creation with heart and craftsmanship.
Her first solo exhibition was held here at the Everhart in 1982, a pivotal moment in a lifelong connection. A mentor to many, Peg shared her talents generously through programs with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, inspiring generations with her warmth, wisdom, and artistry.
This exhibition pays tribute to her dual legacy: as a maker of vibrant, textured works and as a teacher whose impact endures. Always, as she proudly noted, her art was “woven by hand.”
Generously supported by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts

A New Path to the Waterfall
A New Path to the Waterfall, a joint exhibition of work by Samuelle Green and John Bromberg, explores the convergence of nature and technology. Featuring Bromberg’s large-scale Bridge to Nowhere sculpture meeting Green’s immersive cavernous paper installation, this exhibition also serves as the last exhibition of Bromberg’s eclectic art career.
These seasoned Northeastern Pennsylvania artists bring their personal talents and philosophical views to the universal question of the growing tension between the natural world and technology. Green’s internationally-renowned paper installations mimic natural elements like wasp nests, fungi, and mold, that grow with the rooms’ contours and architecture, claiming the surfaces in the same way the natural environment eventually reclaims everything in its path. Meanwhile, Bromberg’s sculpture, while seemingly strong, represents impermanence under Mother Nature’s control.
This exhibition is supported by Lackawanna County Arts & Culture.
