THE GOOD NEWS

Opening Reception

Join us for the opening reception of the Everhart Museum’s Summer 2019 exhibition.

The Good News is an exhibition of spontaneous moments photographed by Zak Zavada in and around Scranton, Pennsylvania. Zak’s images encourage the audience to question their immediate assumptions about their everyday surroundings. Depending on the viewers’ perspective, some of the photographs may seem humorous or mundane, others more evocative in the stark reality that they highlight.

Friday, May 17, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Guests will enjoy food, cocktails, and music.
Reservations are required. Pricing: $50 per person
For more information call (570) 346-7186, ext. 510.
