The Pillars

gifts to chautauqua

Student Voices | Words of Gratitude

Chautauqua provides a robust mix of forms, traditions and viewpoints within the four pillars of arts, education, religion and recreation. Gifts to Chautauqua enrich each pillar and ensure a more dynamic community in which people of all ages come together in search of a full and total expression of the human experience. This mix stimulates multidimensional learning and prods learners past their preconceptions. This idea marries science and spirituality, faith and skeptical inquiry, art and analysis, the rational and the intuitive, study, worship and recreation in a way that no university, no civic group, no arts gathering can on its own.
