A place for the pets and people of our community

Start your week with a little creativity and a lot of good company! Join us for a laid-back evening designed to help you unwind, create, and connect. We’ll have everything you need to make your own pet-themed collage, plus light snacks and drinks. Not into collaging? Bring whatever creative project you’re already working on and enjoy a cozy space to work alongside others. And, of course, adoptable pets will be onsite to provide plenty of creative inspiration and companionship. Come for the craft, bring your own project, or simply take a break with us.

The biggest pet adoption event of the year is just around the corner! Best Friends' Super Adoption will showcase hundreds of adoptable dogs and cats from rescues and shelters all across the region.

It will take place at the Campus Plaza on the beautiful grounds of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and will feature local vendors, prizes, food, music, and of course, lots of adorable, adoptable pets who are looking for homes just like yours.
