A brief synopsis of the history of Abington Art Center can be found in the following link:

History of Abington Art Center

A summary of the history is as follows:

In 1939, a group of 26 women came together to form the Old York Road Art Guild. Eventually they began to widen the breadth of their activities including offering trips to museums and artist studios, citywide art contests, art books for local libraries, and a scholarship fund for art students.

By the 1960s, the Guild became a non-profit organization, changed their name, and advocated for the Township to accept Edith and Lessing Rosenwald’s gift of Alverthorpe Manor, where the Art Center has resided since 1970.

The Manor has transformed with the addition of an event pavilion, an outdoor stage, and paved paths through the woods behind the manor through the Sculpture Park.
