AR T SQU E S T A N N UA L

RESIDENT ARTISTS' EXHIBITION
over the 18 years that banana factory
arts center has been in existence, nearly 80

Resident Artists have created within these studios. The
sharing of ideas, techniques, and inspiration is a daily
occurrence here, and the influence that comes from
working within an artist community is immeasurable.
Banana Factory Resident Artists are educators, many of
whom teach classes to students of all ages; exhibitors,
showing their work locally, regionally, and nationally;
innovators, challenging traditional views of art and
process; award-winners, recognized internationally for
their skills; and entrepreneurs, selling their art in new
ways and formats.
As the SouthSide of Bethlehem grows and changes
during the coming years, it will be the artists living
and working in this community who will shape it
into the arts and cultural district it is envisioned to be.

Very few would have thought that a center of industry
and business would have become a breeding ground
for artists and performers of all kinds, but that is
exactly what is happening. What an exciting time to
be a Resident Artist, and what an exciting time to
witness their impact.
We hope you enjoy and appreciate the amazing works
of the Resident Artists included in this exhibition, and
come back frequently to meet and celebrate these
artists living in our community.
