BETHLEHEM ARTS CENTER Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
The Bethlehem Arts Center is the home to a thriving visual arts educational program. This 70,000 sf new headquarters features classroom learning environments and resident artist studio space. Additionally, this new building will include a state-of-the art glass blowing studio, a comedy club, several 2d and 3d gallery spaces, a bar, a kitchen demonstration room, a maker space workshop, wood shop, gift shop, ceramics and painting studios, and a social lounge. The architectural factory aesthetic allows for maximum flexibility for the diversity of programming scenarios and focuses on site integration to the vibrant activity along the corridor.
