The Slosbergs have made the generous decision to donate their extensive collection of paintings, sculpture, drawings, and decorative arts from the first half of the twentieth cen- tury to the Allentown Art Museum as a planned gift from their estate, making them members of the Museum's Ann Penn Allen Society.

We visited a number of places, but we just loved the Allentown Art Museum, and my husband's roots in the area made it a natural choice.” The Slosbergs have also committed to establishing an endowment fund at the Museum to maintain the collection. As they noted, “When artwork goes to a museum, and especially important to recognize that budget lity. We wanted to ensure the collection for in perpetuity, and so we thought it would be good to give the Museum a head start.” The Mu grateful for the Slosberg’s philanthropic foresight in donating what they call their “labor of love.” We invite others to join them in the Ann Penn Allen Society and to attend the Soc’ enta special lecture and reception featuring renowned art lecturer Jocelyn Kress~on Thursday October 11, 2007, at 6 PM.
