Bellefonte Historical  and Cultural Association
BHCA
Bellefonte, Pennsylvania

BHCA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the arts in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania.  The organization presents diverse arts and cultural programming to the community; seeks to attract working artists; and strives to increase awareness of the significance of Bellefonte's cultural heritage, as reflected in rich Victorian architecture, and of the value of its preservation.

BHCA is supported, in part, by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency, through its regional arts funding partnership, Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (PPA).  State government funding comes through an annual appropriation by Pennsylvania's General Assembly and from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.  PPA is administered in this region by the Pennsylvania Rural Arts alliance.
