The Luzerne County Arts & Entertainment Hall of Fame was established in 2022, and was announced at a news conference at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts on October 20 of that year. The criteria for induction were determined by the initial members of the steering committee.
Eligible candidates for induction include anyone who has made a mark in the arts or entertainment fields. Geographically, those who are Luzerne County natives, have lived in Luzerne County or who have made their mark in Luzerne County, are to be placed under consideration.
