What makes Chautauqua’s Schools of Performing & Visual Arts so special?

It’s the people. The energy. The community. . ✨🎭🎨

Through the Chautauqua Connections Program, community members support emerging artists in simple but meaningful ways—sharing a meal, attending a performance, or offering a place to feel at home. It’s not a financial commitment, just a chance to help our students feel welcome and connected.

Be part of their story and help support the next generation of artists.
