Congressional Art Competition
April 25–April 27
Every spring the Everhart is proud to host the Congressional Art Competition for the PA 8th District, part of the nation-wide Congressional Art Competition for high school students.
Sponsored by the members of the U.S. House of Representatives, with Congressman Rob Bresnahan presiding over the 8th District for the 2025 competition, the program is an opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent throughout the nation.
The Artistic Discovery Contest for the 8th District is open to all high school students in the district, including all of Lackawanna, Pike, and Wayne Counties along with portions of Luzerne and Monroe Counties. The winning artwork of each district’s competition will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol.
A New Path to the Waterfall
March 26–June 29, 2025
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.
UNIVERSAL CODES: WORKS BY DANIEL MARTIN DIAZ
January 8–April 27, 2025
Arizona-based artist Daniel Martin Diaz pulls from an eclectic mix of influences including fantastical Mexican religious iconography, mystical votive offerings, the Early Netherlandish painters, Gothic ornamentation, arcane religious sigils and medallions, alchemy, and the symbolism of secret societies to create distinctive paintings. Much of his work examines the concepts of death and religion, as he seeks to pose questions but not answer them.
