Founded in 1997 and based in Lanham, Maryland, Quest is a group of artists, educators, and dedicated volunteers representing a diverse ethnic, cultural, and artistic panorama. All are committed to using the arts to: promote understanding among all peoples, promote excellence, and enable individuals who have been marginalized to realize their full potential. Quest's 30 Affiliate Artists represent a variety of ethnicities, cultures, and art forms. Forty percent of the Affiliates are artists who are deaf or artists with disabilities. Seventy percent of the Affiliates are artists of colour. The company's three divisions reflect Quest's multi-pronged, multileveled approach to employing the arts to affect social, educational, and employment change.

ArtsBridge - a local, state, and national initiative on careers in the arts for people with disabilities
Quest Productions - creates, produces, presents, and supports theatre emanating from a visual base and featuring casts and production staffs of deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing people
