Arts and Culture

ArtsQuestÕs Banana Factory is a dynamic cultural arts and education center. The building features 63,000-square feet of space that are home to three galleries, 28 resident artists, the Fowler Arts and Education Center, GlassWorks (the Lehigh ValleyÕs only hot glass studio), the Olympus Digital Imaging Center and the Gallery Shoppe.

This handsome gem of 18th century Moravian architecture capped with its distinctive mansard tile roof originally marked the northern edge of the town — a visible and welcoming sight from all directions. The inn was known throughout the American colonies for its commitment to gracious service, fine food and wines and its comfortable suites of rooms.

Art belongs in the home. Bethlehem House Contemporary Art Gallery specializes in both emerging and established regional artists, and provides original, innovative art in a variety of contemporary styles for a range of household budgets. Our four annual shows demonstrate the practical use of contemporary artwork in modern interior design by exhibiting works in a furnished environment. At Bethlehem House, we believe that anyone can be an art collector and all homes can be enriched by the display of original fine art.

Touchstone Theatre, located on Bethlehem’s multi-cultural SouthSide, has celebrated live, original and classic theater for more than 30 years. The professional, ensemble theater company is also known for its arts-in-education work, including the annual Young Playwrights’ Festival, and transformative community-based theater pieces such as Dox Quixote of Bethlehem and Steelbound: The Art of an Industry.
