The gallery is located on the fourth floor of Hyland Hall on the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Linden Street.
The exhibit, which opened earlier this month, features the work of local impressioninst landscape artist John Willard Raught. Born in Scranton, Raught studied and traveled in New York City and Paris before returning in his later years to live and work in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The work includes many landscape paintings of areas in NEPA from private collections, including works from the private collection of Scranton native Richard Stanislaus, guest curator for the exhibit.
The exhibit runs through Nov. 8 and can be seen, free of charge, during regular Gallery hours, which are Sunday through Friday, noon to 4 p.m. and Wednesdays, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Hope Horn Gallery also has available for sale a three-volume catalogue of Raught’s work.
