The center has enhanced arts education at Lehigh, while strengthening cultural life
At first glance, Zoellner Arts Center looks as it did 25 years ago, when it was built with an ambitious mission to unify the creative arts on the Lehigh campus, enhance the role of the arts in education at Lehigh, elevate Lehigh’s standing as a research university, and strengthen the cultural life of the Lehigh Valley. But on closer look, there are subtle signs that something momentous is happening.
Outside, near the entrance, new flags boldly announce the arts programs being offered—Zoellner is home to the music and theatre departments, as well as Lehigh University Art Galleries and the Presenting Series. One flag proclaims the impact Zoellner and the arts have had on Lehigh for 25 years. Ground to ceiling window clings display colorful images of this season’s diverse performances. A new outdoor monitor teases the upcoming entertainment.
