A small trace of humanity in a very big world. 🌎

A TOUCH OF HUMAN
by Cynthia Harris

Across deserts, mountains, coastlines, and remote corners of the globe, Cynthia Harris captures sweeping landscapes marked by something small—a figure, a structure, a subtle sign that humans have been there.

Photographed across six continents, A Touch of Human asks us to consider our place within the natural world: How large should our presence be, and what does a meaningful relationship with the landscape look like?

Sometimes the smallest detail tells the biggest story.

✨ This is the final weekend to experience A Touch of Human at BAM! Stop in and see the exhibition before it closes.

📍 BAM is open Friday–Sunday, 12–4:30 PM.

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
Celebrating Our Nation’s 250th Anniversary
📅 September 4 – October 25, 2026

The land holds our stories—of those who worked it, cared for it, built communities upon it, and preserved it for those who would come next.

Presented by the Farmland Preservation Artists, This Land Is Your Land brings together works inspired by the farms, fields, forests, and rural landscapes that define our region and our nation.

As we commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, the exhibition invites us to look closely at the land around us—not only for its beauty, but for the history it carries and the role we each play in its future.

Come celebrate the landscapes we call home.

🐦 NATURE AWE

From the smallest details to the vastness of the natural world, there is so much to inspire a sense of wonder.

This colorful gathering of birds beautifully reflects one of the themes explored in In Awe of Birds—the connections and interrelationships that surround us in nature. Look closely and you may recognize a few familiar feathered friends!

Come spend some time looking, discovering, and experiencing a little Nature Awe at the Bellefonte Art Museum.

A little oasis in the heart of Bellefonte. 💜

Our garden at BAM is looking especially beautiful right now—morning glories climbing, flowers spilling over the beds, and the fountain creating the perfect spot to linger for a moment.

Next time you visit, take a few extra minutes to wander through.

A TOUCH OF HUMAN
by Cynthia Harris

Even at the edge of the world, traces of us remain.

Photographed in Antarctica, this breathtaking landscape captures the central idea behind Cynthia Harris’s A Touch of Human: the contrast between the vastness of the natural world and the small—but significant—presence of people within it.

Through photographs taken across six continents, Harris invites us to consider a compelling question: How large a presence should we humans have, and what does a meaningful relationship with the natural world look like?

Come experience A Touch of Human at the Bellefonte Art Museum.

What does it mean to care for the land we call home?

Presented by the Farmland Preservation Artists, This Land Is Your Land celebrates the fields, farms, forests, and communities that shape our shared sense of place. Through painting and visual storytelling, the exhibition explores stewardship, preservation, and the enduring connection between people and the land.

As our nation marks its 250th anniversary, these works invite us to reflect on the landscapes that have shaped our history—and our responsibility to preserve them for generations to come.

There’s something quietly powerful about art that carries a lifetime of devotion.

In WINDOWS OF FAITH: ICON PAINTINGS ON GLASS, artist Carmen Miller shares work shaped by more than 30 years of painting icons—a journey she began at just 16 years old.

Hand-painted in oil on glass, the works move between classical Byzantine traditions and Miller’s own contemporary interpretations. Each reflects patience, symbolism, spirituality, and the evolution of an artist who has spent decades honoring a centuries-old tradition while finding her own voice within it.

On view now at the Bellefonte Art Museum.
