Free during gallery hours. Sunday through Friday Noon - 4 p.m., Wednesday evenings 6 p.m.- 8 p.m.
From humble beginnings as a breaker boy in the Bellevue section of Scranton, PA, Patrick W. Costello (1866-1935) worked to become a nationally-renowned artist in the field of "engrossing," where elaborate pen and ink drawings were combined with calligraphic lettering to produce commemorative documents and resolutions. This exhibition includes engrossings and portraits by Costello, many on loan from local families and institutions. It is accompanied by a full-color catalog featuring essays by Tom Costello, guest curator and great-grandson of the artist; Michael Sull, Master Penman and Costello scholar; and Darlene Miller-Lanning, Ph.D, Director, Hope Horn Gallery, University of Scranton. This project is funded in part by a grant from the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority.
Gallery Workshops
The Hope Horn Gallery is offering Basic Calligraphy Workshops based on pieces included in P.W. Costello: Designer, Engrosser, Illustrator. Students will use pen and ink to learn simple calligraphic lettering techniques. School and community groups may call to schedule workshop times.
