Hanna,
If you're going to be based in Scranton, then Philadelphia is less than a two hour drive down I-476, and is worth a side trip. Visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art :

The Rodin Museum:

And, visit The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts:

"The Sublime Landscape" opens June 19th, and the Annual Alumni Exhibition at 1301 Cherry Street, opens June 4th. This is where I went to art school. I will probably be exhibiting my painting "Apotheoun" in this show
