Bring art into your life and the lives of others by volunteering at the Banana Factory!


Join the artists and staff at the Banana Factory in promoting the arts in the Lehigh Valley. Volunteers are the backbone of ArtsQuest and the arts center. Your diverse backgrounds, knowledge and expertise in many fields enhance the abilities of the staff, strengthen ties to the community and enable the day-to-day operations and special activities of the Banana Factory to happen.
