For the 15th year, ArtsQuest is transforming the SteelStacks campus into a living memorial honoring hometown heroes. From May 23 to July 7, the campus will be draped with images of local military heroes as a display of appreciation and gratitude for their sacrifices and contributions.

ArtsQuest and Embassy Bank invite the public to submit photos of their family, neighbors and friends who have served or are serving in the military. Over the years, more than 1,700 images of local servicemen and women from all branches of the military have been on display to honor our hometown heroes.

ArtsQuest will accept the first 200 photos submitted with a deadline of March 31. Individuals can upload digital photos of their heroes. Images must be a high-resolution JPEG, TIFF, bitmap or PDF file. Color or black-and-white photographs are accepted. Hardcopies will be accepted at all Embassy Bank locations or at the ArtsQuest Center at 101 Founders Way in Bethlehem.

All hard copies will be returned promptly to the location where they were received.

Each submitted photo will be displayed on one of the “Our Hometown Heroes” banners on the SteelStacks campus and include the soldier’s rank, branch, dates of service and hometown. All images submitted in previous years will automatically be displayed as part of the “Our Hometown Heroes” display.

Additional details on the 2025 Memorial Day events and activities at SteelStacks will be available later this spring.
