America 250: We the People
In celebration of America’s 250th birthday, the Everhart is presenting a special exhibition chronicling America’s founding, formation, and its fruition as the world’s model in rule by “we the people.”
The exhibition will include artifacts from the American Revolutionary War Era, through the trials and tribulations that challenged the new nation, and onto the present, encompassing original flags, clothing, weapons, paintings and prints highlighting the nation as it turns 250.
Focuses include the infamous Sullivan’s March through Northeastern PA, replicas of Colonial Williamsburg and reproduction revolutionary war weapons and clothing, and original paintings and prints by local master John Willard Raught, and by modern masters Robert Indiana, Ed Ruscha, N.C. Wyeth, and Jacob Lawrence, among others.

Play Ball!: The Tarot de Cooperstown
In celebration of America’s Pastime, artists Paul Kuhrman and James Markowich use the 18th century Nicolas Conver tarot card deck, itself derived from the original Tarot de Marseille decks, as the foundation for a series of 78 paintings inspired by the baseball diamond and its cast of characters, including the manager, the owner, the players, and the commissioner to name a few.
Tarot decks were originally created for card games before evolving into tools used to seek guidance and insight into the future. As any baseball fan understands, speaking to and pleading with one's deities about the game is a rite of passage, even to the extent of praying for a hit by one’s favorite player or team, or a recorded out by the opposition. These artistic interpretations take a different approach: not to predict what lies ahead, but to offer a playful celebration of baseball through the imaginative lens of tarot imagery.
In conjunction with the series of paintings, reproductions of the paintings have been printed into a complete tarot card deck that can be used to play an actual baseball game complete with hits, outs, and interactions with the gods of the diamonds–the umpires!

The Office Exhibition
In 2005, television audiences were introduced to a modest paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and a cultural phenomenon was born. The Office didn’t just put Scranton on the map—it etched it permanently into the hearts of millions as the home of America’s favorite comedy series.
Opened in 2025 to mark the 20th anniversary of the series, The Office Exhibition is a first-of-its-kind exhibition that honors that remarkable connection. Featuring original props, interactive experiences, exclusive behind-the-scenes stories, and a nostalgic walk through all nine seasons, this immersive experience explores the story of The Office through the lens of Scranton.
* There is an additional charge for this exhibition. For more information and registration, click here.
This exhibition is supported by Lackawanna County, the Lackawanna County Visitors Bureau, and the City of Scranton.

Iron and Steam: The Photography of Wilton S. Tifft
Wilton S. Tifft's (1941-2015) documentary photography often focuses on the history of human and societal movement. The photographs in this exhibition were chosen from images taken at the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, PA, which he helped establish in cooperation with the National Park Service. It is the site of the former Scranton yards of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (DL&W) and is now a museum featuring original, historic steam and diesel-electric locomotives, freight cars, and passenger cars, as well as original buildings and replicas.
Tifft is a master at capturing the dynamics of the light and shadow filtering through and defining the parameters of a precise moment.

James Kearns: The Performers
This exhibition showcases a striking print series of etchings that vividly capture the world of circus performers. A figurative painter and sculptor, Kearns identifies what makes each of his subjects who they are. There is an exaggeration in the representations, but also a truth.
Kearns peers beneath the subject’s skin to capture their true essence. His figures, while appearing physically grotesque, offer a subtle, inner beauty in their appearance. As he has stated, he aims to present “man as the total man-the tragic, the complex, and the joyful.”
Strongman, James Kearns (1924–), Etching, 1975, Gift of the artist
