ArtsQuest

Founded in 1984, ArtsQuest is a Bethlehem, PA-based nonprofit organization dedicated to providing access to exceptional artistic, cultural and educational experiences for residents of the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania and beyond. The 501 (c)(3) supports this mission via the presentation of performing and visual arts, youth and community programming, and a variety of cultural events.

For more than three decades, ArtsQuest has presented festivals, cultural experiences and educational and outreach programs that aid in economic development, urban revitalization and community enrichment. Through festivals such as its flagship event, Musikfest; the Banana Factory community arts and education center; and the ArtsQuest Center and SteelStacks arts and cultural campus, the nonprofit's programming reaches more than 1.3 million people annually, with more than 80 percent of this programming offered to the community free of charge.
