Welcome
to Chautauqua

Our goal is to embody the Chautauqua philosophy: the belief that literature thrives at the intersection of Arts, Learning, Spirituality, and Leisure. These four pillars that have long defined the Chautauqua spirit are at the core of what being, not just a writer, but a human, is.
