WILKES-BARRE — The Diamond City Partnership and Sordoni Art Gallery at Wilkes University hosted a new community event, SOMA Night Lights, Friday evening on the 100 block of South Main Street in Downtown Wilkes-Barre.

SOMA Night Lights, named for Downtown Wilkes-Barre’s newly branded South Main Arts District (SOMA), temporarily transformed the district into a colorful canvas for the visual and performing arts. The event featured visual arts, free crafts for children, live art demonstrations by artists, open houses at participating SOMA galleries and more.
