Following the ceremony, guests are invited to enjoy hors d’oeuvres and attend the opening reception for the Alliance’s newest gallery exhibitions.

The Rainbow Bridge Pet Memorial is designed as a symbolic structure that visitors can walk around, creating a peaceful place to leave collars and other tributes, share memories, reflect and find comfort alongside others who understand the love and loss of a cherished pet.

 

The Rainbow Bridge Pet Memorial will become a meaningful addition to the Alliance’s ArtsPark, a growing collection of spaces and experiences designed to connect art, nature and community throughout the campus.

This event is free and open to the public. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate this special milestone and help create a place where memories, comfort and the love we share with our pets can live on for years to come.

Inspired by the beloved Rainbow Bridge poem, the memorial will provide a place for pet lovers to remember the companions who have left lasting paw prints on their hearts. Visitors will be invited to leave collars and other tributes in honor of pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge, creating a living testament to the bonds shared between people and animals.
