My name is Santos Martinez and I’m a 22-year-old from Bethlehem.  I grew up with a big family with 3 siblings, and some of my favorite memories have always centered around the community and events that make Bethlehem special. One of the biggest parts of my life has been Musikfest! Ever since I was young, Musikfest has been a tradition for my family, bringing us together every August and creating memories that have stayed with me throughout my life.  

At this year’s 10th anniversary ceremony, one of our own is being honored. We couldn’t be prouder of Ronda Senior, the 2026 Volunteer of the Year honoree. Please join us in congratulating Ronda on this monumental and well-deserved achievement.

Tom is the kind of volunteer you can always count on, no matter what the task. A longtime ArtsQuest Ambassador and member of our 1,000-hour volunteer club, Tom consistently goes above and beyond while always looking for ways to make the experience even better for his fellow volunteers.

As part of our Volunteer Appreciation Week celebrations, we hosted a Music Bingo event for about 60 volunteers on Wednesday, April 22nd, in the Blast Furnace Room.

On Monday, April 20th, we were proud to host our annual Plate Ceremony, recognizing volunteers who have reached 1,000 hours of service and beyond.

This month, we are thrilled to shine the Volunteer Spotlight on the Brenda Happ. With more than a decade of dedicated service to ArtsQuest, Brenda has served in many different roles throughout the years.
