Feb 5 to March 2

Brenda Horner

Brenda is a self-taught watercolor artist with a passion for
realistically depicting her subjects in their natural habitat. Her
work has been shaped out of a love of nature and developed through an
intuitive gift for capturing nature’s ordinary moments. She hopes you
find that her work provides a welcome respite, a reflective place
where you can enjoy the often overlooked pleasures of daily life.

Ann Pangborn

As a fiber artist focused on felt making and spinning art yarn, Ann
works with several dozen different kinds of fiber, including Merino,
silk, Cormo, Finn, and alpaca -- and many varieties of curly wool
locks. Increasingly, she sources fiber directly from U.S. farms; and
much of her newer work includes fleece she has purchased in its raw,
freshly-sheared state and then has washed and processed. She loves
the environmentally-friendly and functional aspects of the fiber arts!

Windows Gallery - Contemporary Art by Aboriginal Artists of the Pacific Northwest
February 8 - March 31, 2019 (dates are different from other galleries)
Opening Reception - Second Sunday, February 10th 12-4:30
Opening Reception sponsored by Bellefonte Waterfront Association, LLC
Mark Morath and Tom Songer

The Contemporary Art in this show is local, diverse, and expresses a vital cultural heritage that has been thousands of years in the making. The Bellefonte Art Museum for Centre County has curated a collection of art works created by members of cultural groups, which we are collectively referring to as Aboriginal People of the Northwest (sometimes referred to as First Nations People).

This exhibit sponsored in part by the Centre Foundation Giving Circle (logo attached)

Community Gallery - Cynthia Nixon
February 1 - February 24, 2019

An abiding interest has been the mysterious and symbolic associations in realist painting through centuries of art from the Northern Renaissance through the American realist tradition. My current series explores allegorical themes while the subjects are personal: people I have known and members of my family, with settings in rural Pennsylvania and on the coast of Maine, places where I have lived and worked most of my life.

Photography Gallery - Lisa Marie Cirincione
February 1 - February 24, 2019

I enjoy documenting my travels, showing the culture, landscape, architecture & people of other places and sharing these images with family and friends. I enjoy learning new photography techniques, new technology, and also the old school ways of film and darkroom. I believe the "best camera is the one you have with you & always look for the light!

Pottery Gallery - Jan Dillon and Mark Messenger
February 1 - February 24, 2019
(I will send images once I receive them)

Print Gallery - Nancy Brassington and Alex Ramos
February 1 - February 24, 2019

Sieg Gallery - Liza Johnson
February 1 - February 24, 2019

I firmly believe that a good foundation in the basic drawing and painting techniques that are needed to create realistic subject matter, especially portraiture, can only strengthen the abstract work of an artist.

Cool Beans - Marianne Fyda and Linda Hale
February 1 - February 24, 2019

Marianne Fyda - Visual arts are a part of me, through them I have learned to see.

Linda Hale - While a photograph is a representation of the subject caught in a fraction of a second, a fine art image captures something that can be felt by viewers over time.

Twiga Museum Store - New merchandise arriving monthly. Open regular museum hours, Friday, Saturday & Sunday 12:00 - 4:30 p.m.

Music by Jeanine Tesori and libretto by Brian Crawley
Based on "The Ugliest Pilgrim" by Doris Betts
Directed by Wes Drummond

It is September 4, 1964. Violet Karl, is a young woman who has spent her life secluded from the world on the side of a mountain with her father, no mother, and a giant scar from a loose axe blade. She has spent her teens in hiding from the awkward stares of strangers and words of Christian sympathy spat in her face. However, today is different. This morning, Violet woke up with a bus ticket in hand ready to take a journey across America to finally meet the evangelist she has been watching on TV since she was a kid. He is going to heal her scar. He is going to make her "pretty". This play is an exploration of what beauty is. An exploration of our flaws and what things we let separate us from the world.
