In the Shadows of the Night: Halloween Season at the Everhart

In conjunction with the VAMPA Vampire and Paranormal Museum in Doyestown, PA, the Everhart is celebrating the season of jack o’lanterns, bats, ghosts and goblins with a special exhibition of objects from VAMPA’s collection. There are numerous legends, myths, oral histories, and folklore throughout the world about the presence of vampires and the paranormal, and what better way to scare up the season than with items that delve into the mysteries surrounding the idea of vampires, spirits, and their connections throughout history? The exhibition will feature sculptures, paintings, and other items that focus the shadow world beyond our own.

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.”
