Great Expectations

JULY 21 - AUGUST 24, 2019

"I went home, with new matters for my thoughts, though with no relief from the old."

- Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

The A.S. Art Foundation is pleased to present the opening of Great Expectations, an exhibition that aligns with our foundation's mission to expose the public to fine abstract art, from both old masters and new artists, and to educate current and future generations on the significant styles of Abstract Expressionism. This group show brings together several young and mid-life artists - all local to Pennsylvania - with the great expectation of showcasing how the abstract tradition continues to influence contemporary art in surprisingly new ways.

Jim Thorpe has always been a town that cultivates and appreciates the arts. That is precisely why we originally decided to open an art foundation in this charming town in 1986.

Sadly, the foundation is only open on the weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day, due to the expense of heating such a large, historic building.

The opening reception for Great Expectations will be held on a Sunday evening to provide Jim Thorpe locals the opportunity to enjoy the exhibition after the weekend tourist rush.
