The Anita Shapolsky Art Foundation’s Exhibition Center in Jim Thorpe is located in a former Presbyterian Church which dates back to the late 1800s. This unusual and dramatic building is the perfect setting to showcase the Foundation’s collection of American Abstract Expressionist art. Beyond the collection, the church itself is a wonderful tourist attraction; it has a most unusual layout for the late 19th Century building, with two stories, a stage, and full living quarters in the rear. The second floor has a stunning collection of beautiful stained glass windows by Tiffany, LaFarge and others.
