2014 Community Impact Report artsquest.org A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Six students enjoying a life-changing experience as they discover the art of concert photography while shooting The Avett Brothers from the media pit at ’s Sands Steel Stage…. 2,000 people coming together to enjoy a free concert by The Smithereens at the Levitt Pavilion… 10,000 people cheering every kick, pass and goal while watching the U.S. take on the world in the FIFA World Cup™….. For more than 30 years, ArtsQuest has been about bringing our community together through shared music, arts and cultural experiences. In my first few months as President & CEO of this incredible arts and cultural organization, I saw this countless times, through events and programs touching almost every aspect of our community – music festivals, educational programs for young people and, yes, even a huge soccer viewing party at the base of the old Bethlehem Steel blast furnaces. Since last summer, I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many of you, and the number-one thing that stands out to me is how passionate you are about our programming and the important role our organization plays in our community. Well, it’s because of you - our dedicated volunteers, ArtsQuest Members, sponsors, community & educational partners and, of course, the public - that we are able to offer such a diverse array of music, art and educational experiences. In fact, this past year we presented a record 2,000 individual programs and events representing everything from cinema and contemporary dance to music and the visual arts. Most importantly, approximately 65 percent of this programming was absolutely free for our community to attend. Since the opening of SteelStacks just a few years ago, ArtsQuest’s programming and mission have expanded significantly. Thanks to our nonprofit’s dynamic senior leadership team, innovative programming and the support of our community, the organization is gaining a reputation as a leader in using the arts as a catalyst for urban revitalization and economic development. ArtsQuest is committed now more than ever to offering exceptional arts and cultural experiences that enhance the quality of life in the region, while continuing to use the arts to bolster economic development in our city and our community. There’s still much work that needs to be done. But, with your support, we look forward to providing even greater access to arts education and arts & cultural programs in the decades to come.

Sincerely,

Kassie Hilgert ArtsQuest President and CEO

2014 ArtsQuest Community Impact Report | 5 JEFF PARKS - DARING TO DREAM

Three decades ago, a small nonprofit with one staff member, one volunteer and a young lawyer at the helm dared to dream, creating a music festival that would hopefully help boost the spirits of a city that was in the midst of an economic downturn, with its largest employer, Bethlehem Steel, laying off hundreds of employees and its downtown struggling to compete with the newly opened malls and shopping centers. Fast forward 30 years and today that nonprofit, ArtsQuest, is the seventh largest arts and cultural organization in the state and one of the leading arts and cultural nonprofits in the nation. Thanks in large part to the innovativeness, creativity and hard work of Jeff Parks, Bethlehem and the region are now home to: MUSIKFEST: The nation’s largest free music festival – offering 10,000 free performances and attracting more than 27 million people since 1984. BANANA FACTORY:  The community arts education center that provides arts programing for at-risk youth, 30 studios for resident artists and 300-plus classes and summer camps for all ages. STEELSTACKS:  A unique revitalization of the former Bethlehem Steel mill, this arts and cultural campus on Bethlehem’s SouthSide draws close to one million people to RYAN HULVAT Bethlehem annually. From a team of three to a staff of 200, ArtsQuest has grown to become a nationally recognized model for economic development, urban revitalization and community engagement through the arts. Today, more than 1.5 million people annually enjoy its programming, with the organization having an economic impact of more than $100 million annually. Jeff, all of us thank you for your dedication, passion, leadership and love for the arts and your city!

Thirty-one years ago, the City of Bethlehem’s primary industry, Bethlehem Steel, was on its way down, leaving thousands of people without jobs and a huge hole in the city’s economy. At the same time, a small community festival began with the novel concept of presenting free music as a way to elevate the spirit of the community and attract visitors to the struggling downtown, which was losing ground to malls and suburban development. Today, that festival, Musikfest, is the largest free music festival in the nation, with 500-plus free performances on 15 stages, while that old steel mill is now home to SteelStacks, the arts and entertainment district that features a dozen music and art festivals, as well as hundreds of concerts, films, comedy shows and family programs throughout the year. Combined, these events draw more than 1.5 million people annually to a city that’s KRIS HILLARD home to only 75,000 people. For more than three decades, ArtsQuest has been focused on using music and art as key tools for supporting economic development and urban revitalization in the region. Led by Musikfest, the organization provides the region with access to more than 800 free music performances throughout the year, as well as a variety of art, dance and other programming. At Musikfest 2014, audiences were able to enjoy more than 325 artists, the overwhelming majority of them free, while also discovering new artistic programming including aerial arts by Aerial Mind, contemporary dance by DANCENOW SteelStacks and head-turning performances from The Netherlands-based Close Act Theater, whose performances of “Saurus,” featuring 18-foot-tall ‘dinosaurs’ walking amongst the crowds, delighted patrons of all ages. The diverse array of artists and programming, coupled with some great summertime weather, led to a near-record crowd of 1.15 million, with people coming from 43 states, DIANE RICHTER as well as Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, England and Puerto Rico.
