PA Council on the Arts Announces Investment in JuxtaHub's Arts and Innovation Center, Expanding Access for Creatives in the Lehigh Valley

The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) visited the Lehigh Valley with community and elected leaders to announce a $150,000 Innovation & Impact Grant to support the JuxtaHub Arts & Innovation Center, strengthening the region's creative industries through accessible, innovative, and workforce-oriented arts and technology programming.

JuxtaHub provides high-value technologies in a community-rooted, artist-centered environment to support the full design process and build sustainable pathways for earned revenue, new partnerships, and expanded programming. The business applied for grant funding to respond to a growing demand for accessible, technology-based creative learning, in addition to the rapid expansion of tools that are reshaping how artists, educators, and entrepreneurs design, prototype, and share their work.

"PA Creative Industries' support of JuxtaHub's Arts & Innovation Center is a wonderful illustration of how we are investing in forward-facing, creative technologies that bring together communities," said Susan Silver Cohen, PCA Chair. "By supporting affordable access to new tools and opportunities, we are continuing to help broaden artists' and entrepreneurs' ability to bring their creative concepts into reality."

Speakers in Order:
Kerry Kulp - Board Member, JuxtaHub
Ryan Hill - Executive Director, JuxtaHub
Representative Pete Schweyer
