In partnership with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts’ Folk and Traditional Arts initiative, the Everhart Museum of Natural History, Science, and Art is working to sustain cultural and artistic practices rooted in people’s histories, traditions, and everyday lives in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne, and Wyoming counties.
To share and educate the community on creative practices in Northeastern Pennsylvania, the Scranton museum has introduced the Second Sunday Folk Arts Series, which features a different folk or traditional artist each month. The first online presentation about Irish music with multi-instrumentalist Leo Schott premiered on Sunday, March 14 on the Everhart’s YouTube channel, where each future entry will debut.
