What is the ArtsQuest Foundation?

The ArtsQuest Foundation is dedicated to ensuring the long-term sustainability and impact of ArtsQuest’s mission to provide access to the arts for all.

Donate

Established to support and grow ArtsQuest’s endowment, the Foundation helps secure the future of free and affordable arts, cultural and educational programming across the Lehigh Valley. Through planned giving, major gifts and philanthropic partnerships, the Foundation empowers generations to come with the transformative power of creativity.

By investing in the ArtsQuest Foundation, donors help protect the legacy of signature events like Musikfest, expand arts education for youth and seniors and strengthen the region’s creative economy for years to come.

Ways to Donate to the ArtsQuest Foundation
