ArtsQuest Creative Factory


The ArtsQuest Creative Factory powered by PPL is a new 80,000-square-foot, five-story hub of visual arts, education and creativity on Bethlehem’s Southside purpose-built to spark imagination and innovation.
The Creative Factory has risen on the site of the former Banana Factory to offer expanded access to classes, studios, galleries, performances and educational programming seven days a week including brand new and expansive spaces including a recording studio, media lab, a maker’s space, dedicated studios for jewelry-making, mosaics, ceramics, hot glass, expanded collaborative spaces for volunteers, artists, teachers, visitors and much more.
This exciting space is intentionally designed to empower the community to explore creativity, experience the arts, learn new skills and bring bold ideas to life in a welcoming, collaborative environment.
Current estimates have the new facility opening at the end of 2026/beginning of 2027.
