DALLAS, Pa. — A new solo exhibition by Mountain Top artist Johar Manzar is now on exhibit in Penn State Wilkes-Barre’s Friedman Art Gallery from Wednesday, Feb. 4 and will run through Friday, Feb. 27. Titled “Living Landscapes and More,” the exhibit features a variety of Manzar’s artworks.

Exhibits in the Friedman Art Gallery are free and open to the public weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The gallery is located on the lower level of the campus’s Nesbitt Academic Commons building.

“It is a privilege to create and consume stories and art,” said Manzar. “Reclaiming our expressive birthright is some of the best medicine there is. I want to leave a legacy of advocacy, art and education, touching my work wherever it goes.”

The student applicants are asked to describe their experiences and opinions about being a scholar, express their thoughts about becoming valued members of society, and how they see themselves contributing to their community in the future, based not only on academic achievements but also on personal interests, including support of the Arts.

NEPACMS Concert at Penn State Wilkes-Barre on January 15, 2026. Symphonic Overtones at the Hayfield House beginning at 7:00 p.m. GENERAL ADMISSION $20.00 To order tickets go to https://www.nepacms.org/event/symphonic-overtones-hayfield/

The Program includes: Brahms’ String Sextet No. 1 was his first chamber work for strings without piano, composed during a period of emotional upheaval involving Clara Schumann and a brief engagement to Agatha von Siebold. At the same time, he was grappling with his First Symphony, a project so daunting it took over 20 years to complete. Nearly a century earlier, Mozart, inspired by travels through Mannheim and Paris, sought to break free from Salzburg’s constraints and explore new musical forms. His Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola, written in 1779, reflects this spirit of innovation, though it wasn’t published until 1802.
