Sordoni Art Gallery | Innovative exhibitions & free public programs in Wilkes-Barre
The Sordoni Art Gallery in Wilkes-Barre serves as a vital educational and cultural resource for both Wilkes University and the surrounding community. Redesigned and re-dedicated as a state-of-the-art, 7,000-square-foot exhibition space, the gallery now features year-round exhibitions showcasing internationally acclaimed artists. This NEPA arts destination emphasizes learning and creative exploration through workshops, lectures, and thoughtfully curated programming—all of which are free and open to the public.
The gallery’s flexible design includes moveable walls that can be reconfigured for each exhibit, allowing for a fresh and immersive experience every time. Since its $3 million transformation, the space has hosted major exhibitions, including a stunning collection of over 80 pieces by Pennsylvania’s own Andy Warhol. Its upgraded capabilities now allow the Sordoni to accommodate high-end national and international shows, raising its profile as a leader in regional arts programming.
Through its Friends of the Sordoni program, patrons can become more deeply involved with the gallery. Members enjoy exclusive invitations to exhibit openings and artist lectures, access to special trips and tours, and publications like brochures and catalogs. They also receive discounts on various gallery-hosted functions, enriching their engagement with the visual arts.
From student education to public enrichment, the Sordoni Art Gallery blends innovation with accessibility in the heart of downtown Wilkes-Barre.
