The Maya Project celebrates a rescue dog through the genre of pet portraiture. Maya is a rescue dog that, upon adoption as a puppy, had several potentially fatal health issues. To celebrate Maya’s good health on her first birthday, friends created portraits in their choice of media limited only by size to honor how tiny she was as a puppy. Over the last two years, the Maya Project has expanded to over three dozen contributions by artists that met Maya in person or through social media. Watch for community-oriented programming and participate!

When most people think of taxidermy, hunting trophies and oddities come to mind. Developed by student-curator PJ Squire (’24, Biology and Museum Studies), this exhibition explores the history and scientific significance of specimens in Natural History museums and collections, from specimen preparation, to dioramas, and public and research usefulness. Specimens are an invaluable part of Natural History and other science-minded museums; these institutions would not be able to serve their purpose without them.

Do you play an acoustic instrument?
Do you like to sing? Do you enjoy listening to traditional music?
Come join the acoustic music jam at the Huntingdon County Arts Center every first Monday of the month.
(NOTE: The December jam is moved to December 11.)
We’ll sing and play familiar songs and tunes and perhaps learn some new ones.
All acoustic instruments welcome (guitar, keyboard, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, squeezebox, flute, harmonica, autoharp . . .)
We’ll play in a variety of styles–old time, bluegrass, blues, world, traditional instrumental dance music, singer-songwriter, musicals–you get it, anything that strikes our fancy.
Jam led by Larry Mutti.
