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. Each volunteer who reaches 1,000 hours is honored with a plate featuring a flame, permanently displayed on the 2nd floor of the ArtsQuest Center. For every additional 1,000 hours, volunteers receive an additional flame on their plate, each one representing an extraordinary commitment of time and support. This event has quickly become one of the highlights of the year as we gather to celebrate this prestigious milestone and recognize the impact our volunteers have in helping to further the arts in the Lehigh Valley. I’m proud to introduce the 2026 class of inductees:

- Thomas Beaupre
