William Chickillo: The Eye in Movement
The Everhart Museum is proud to present this exhibition featuring the latest works by Waverly, PA-based abstract landscape painter William Chickillo.
The exhibition explores the artist’s calling to chronicle the personal majesty and mystery of the natural world, from the trails and forests of Northeastern Pennsylvania to the quiet streams and landscapes found just off the beaten path.
One of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s foremost artists, Chickillo has created a series of paintings celebrating the region’s natural surroundings specifically for this exhibition. Featured in addition to this locally-inspired collection is a series of paintings originally sketched en plein air during Chickillo’s time in France this past summer.
The Eye in Movement also includes a selection of black-and-white works and of works on paper, offering visitors a broader look at the artist’s multidisciplinary approach to landscape, movement, and place.
There is an exhibition reception on Wednesday, November 18 from 5 to 7 p.m., included with general admission. No registration is required.

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.
October 21–November 29
Houdini: Escaping Scranton
In collaboration with the Houdini Museum in Scranton, the Everhart Museum is pleased to present Houdini: Escaping Scranton, a new exhibition exploring the world-famous magician, escape artist, and showman’s connections to Scranton and Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Harry Houdini, nee Erik Weisz, was an international sensation whose untimely death at age 52 on Halloween night in 1926 cemented his enduring association with the holiday’s eerie themes of the supernatural, the afterlife, and communication with the dead, subjects of attention for Houdini who was a skeptic himself.
The exhibition explores Houdini’s early travels throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania with the Welsh Brothers Circus and his performances in the region, including his legendary 1915 escape at Scranton’s Poli Theater, current site of the Ritz Theater.
Visitors will discover rare artifacts related to Houdini’s escapes, along with historical ephemera, photographs, and video footage showcasing some of his most memorable performances.

Thank You for Your Service
The works in this gallery highlight artists from the Everhart’s permanent collection who dedicated a portion of their lives to military service. Upon completion of their service, each individual turned to visual art as a creative outlet for reflection, healing, and self-expression.
Their journeys into the art world were as diverse as their backgrounds in uniform. Many pursued formal academic education training under the G.I. Bill, which funded college tuition for millions of returning service members and fueled a broad surge in post-war American creativity. Others developed their distinct voices through self-taught practices.
We honor their extraordinary contributions both in service to our country and in the creative sphere.
