ArtsQuest has been approved for a $20,000 Grants for Arts Projects award to support The SteelStacks Jazz Series.

This project will support SteelStacks jazz performances with education and outreach activities. ArtsQuest’s project is among the more than 1,100 projects across America totaling nearly $27 million that were selected during this second round of Grants for Arts Projects fiscal year 2021 funding.

The SteelStacks Jazz Series aims to lower barriers to involvement in the arts for at-risk students in the Bethlehem and Allentown School Districts, while also making jazz an easily accessible and enjoyable experience for members of the community. The SteelStacks Jazz Series events will take place in the ArtsQuest Center’s Musikfest Café, the Fowler Blast Furnace Room, Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks and within the classrooms of our educational partners in the Bethlehem Area School District and the Allentown City School District.

This series features free programming, performances, workshops and outreach activities for the local Southside Bethlehem community and the entire Lehigh Valley region.
