Supporting Scranton’s Creatives: Gallery on Vine’s Role in Art, Music, and Culture
At Gallery on Vine, our mission is to create an inclusive and vibrant space that supports and nurtures the creative talents of Scranton’s local artists. As part of the Rossetti Foundation for the Arts and Culture, we believe that art, music, and culture are powerful tools for personal expression and community development. Our gallery serves as a platform where emerging artists can showcase their work, collaborate with others, and gain exposure in the local and wider art scene.
We offer a variety of services that cater to both artists and the community, providing opportunities for creative growth and cultural engagement. Our exhibition spaces are available for local talent to display their artwork, and we host regular art showcases and musical performances that celebrate diversity in all its forms. From First Fridays to private viewings and workshops, the gallery is a hub for artistic exchange and creative exploration.
Additionally, we offer a series of educational programs that aim to teach young artists essential skills, empower them to share their personal narratives, and cultivate self-esteem through creative expression. These programs are designed to serve the next generation of artists, ensuring that they have the tools and resources to thrive and succeed.
Gallery on Vine also plays an essential role in the community by hosting cultural events and fundraisers that bring together local groups and organizations to foster inclusivity, promote diversity, and celebrate the rich artistic heritage of Scranton. We aim to create a space where art and culture are accessible to all, sparking conversations, inspiring change, and bringing people together in meaningful ways.
Through our commitment to local collaboration and creative empowerment, Gallery on Vine is more than just a gallery—it is a cornerstone of Scranton’s vibrant arts community, elevating the voices of local artists while engaging and enriching the wider community. By continuously providing opportunities for artistic expression, cultural exploration, and collaboration, we are helping to shape a brighter, more connected future for Scranton’s creative community.
