BAM plays a key role in the revitalization of Bellefonte

Happy Valley President and CEO Fritz Smith recently recognized the Bellefonte Art Museum as playing a key role in the revitalization and renaissance of downtown Bellefonte. 

"The Bellefonte Art Museum has played a key role in the amazing revitalization and renaissance of downtown Bellefonte. Serving as one of the anchor institutions in the art and cultural landscape of Central Pennsylvania, it showcases a fascinating combination of works from around the world as well as local artists. The BAM is also proud to tell the story of the Underground Railroad and Bellefonte's key role in that chapter of American History. The Journey to Freedom for escaping enslaved African Americans and the brave local citizens who supported them is a story that can never be forgotten. I encourage all who visit Happy Vallery to make the museum a must-see part of their trip, and to come back often to see their rotating exhibits. We are proud of this cultural icon and its leading role in the rebirth of the Town of Governors."
