Zoellner Arts Center

Zoellner Arts Center—home to the Presenting Series, Lehigh University Music Department, the Department of Theatre, and the Art Galleries—is a place for creativity and innovation, for exploring all corners of artistic disciplines, for opening minds to new ideas, and for inspiring future makers to new ways of seeing the world.

Recently, the center held 200+ events in one year, presented artists from Korea, Austria, and South Africa, and held more than 50 campus and community events, including lectures, business meetings, convocations, recitals, a virtual installation, and more. The center provided arts engagement and communal space to Lehigh University students and over 55,000 people in attendance from 17 states and more than 7,400 local children from 15 school districts. Additionally, we created partnerships with dozens of community organizations in the arts, sciences, health, and literacy. We hold community conversations with people representing the Lehigh Valley’s rural, urban, and suburban areas to listen and obtain feedback on the best ways to connect with and support communities.

The mission of Zoellner Arts Center is to infuse the arts into the life of Lehigh University and the greater Lehigh Valley community by presenting high-quality multi-disciplinary programs, by fostering life-long patronage of the arts, and by integrating our educational resources to enhance our human experience. We are uniquely positioned as a community hub to connect with and enrich the lives of all who surround and inhabit our venue.
