This exhibition will explore the role our companion pets play in human life through the eyes of forty-five registry artists.
Nothing compares to the joy of coming home to a loyal companion. The unconditional love of a pet can do more than keep you company. Pets are known to decrease stress, improve heart health, and even help with emotional and social skills. Be they furry, feathered, or scaly, the human-animal bond is a mutually beneficial and dynamic relationship between people and animals.
Visit our Makery at the Museum!
We’ll be creating 3-D, mixed media pet portraits out of cardboard, paint, and lots of whimsical odds and ends.
This activity is self-guided and free to the public during our museum hours. We hope you’ll join us for this unique offering!

The Bellefonte Art Museum for Centre County has created a vibrant community for the arts serving families, artists, and patrons while making a positive social and economic impact on Happy Valley.
Six galleries and a gift shop rotate monthly and feature artworks by local artists, including a unique display window allowing visitors to view art from outside the building. In addition, the Special Exhibitions Gallery brings unique art shows from near and far to enrich our community and highlight art from other places and cultures.
Housed in a historic property in Bellefonte, the Linn House attracts visitors for the art and programs, as well as for the historic quality of the house. “A Journey to Freedom” is a permanent exhibition commemorating the role of our region in the operations of the Underground Railroad.
