Many families have an area of interest that defines them in the community and that occupies their time and energy year in and year out. For some families this may take the form of sports, manifesting itself in a very public display of fondness for football, hockey (the Penguins, naturally)...

    In 1920, two German artists– George Grosz and John Heartfield– made a sign promoting a new kind of commercial illustration style that was quickly becoming more popular than their parents’ art.
    The sign read, “Art is Dead.”

    "Every time I walk by, I smile."
    That's what artist Leigh Pawling was told by the older Wilkes-Barre gentleman as she painted the large flower mural on a building on South Main Street. He said he only smiles twice each day- when he walks by the mural and when he's "regular" in the morning.
