ArtsQuest Membership
Every year, ArtsQuest is able to present arts and cultural programs to over 1 million people.
ArtsQuest is proud to annually present Musikfest and Christkindlmarkt Bethlehem to the residents of the Lehigh Valley and also owns and operates the Banana Factory community arts center and gallery.
Without the support of ArtsQuest members, none of these great programs would be possible.
