Welcome to BOUNDLESS, A Campaign for Chautauqua

Dear Friend, There are moments that change the course of history.

It is in this spirit that we embark on...

January on CHQ Assembly

See what’s streaming on CHQ Assembly this January!  CHQ Assembly’s January 2024 Lineup  In January, we’re highlighting the 2023 Summer Assembly theme “Infrastructure: Building and Maintaining the Physical, Social and Civic Underpinnings of Society.”   Somewhere along the way, infrastructure becomes boring — the awe and joy with which a child greets the weekly garbage truck and hours spent on felt playmats of city streets give way to the “unsexy” business of routine maintenance and iterative improvements, of taxes and policy. Yet nothing remains more critical to our public lives than the evolution and safety of these systems. Join Chautauqua’s lecturers...
