ArtsQuest in Bethlehem is a Wonderful Place

ArtsquestThe city of Bethlehem, PA has so much going on throughout the year, that you’ll never run out of new activities to try or fun places to explore.  Our city is lucky to have a strong local creative culture as well a strong feeling of community that we’re glad to share with visitors. Part of that is because of enriching places like ArtsQuest at the SteelStacks campus here in Bethlehem. ArtsQuest is dedicated to providing our community (and those who are temporary community members) with access to the arts in a number of forms. This multifaceted organization is full of exciting educational opportunities, activities, and events.

About ArtsQuest

ArtsQuest is part of the SteelStacks campus in downtown Bethlehem.  What used to be the home of Bethlehem Steel has become a hub for creativity and cultural growth in our city. Along with ArtsQuest, SteelStacks is home to the Banana Factory, the Levitt Pavilion, and Christmas City (seasonally). The mission of ArtsQuest is to provide the Bethlehem community with “access to exceptional artistic, cultural, and educational experiences promoting individual and community creativity, enlightenment and fulfillment,” as well as to “provide access to art, culture,and educational programs for the diverse residents of the Lehigh Valley and others who seek access.” This is achieved in a multitude of ways, including business partnerships, special events, and making arts and culture an important part of the local economy.

These programs take the form of workshops, classes, performances and more. The programs accommodate those of all ages and abilities.
