Another of MKSD’s transformational projects made possible by PPL Corporation. Imagined by ArtsQuest, the new cultural arts center in the SouthSide Arts District will offer space for artists, art galleries, arts classes, glassblowing, programs for Bethlehem Area School District students, and so much more!
