Today, we are undertaking the most significant restoration in the Auditorium's 128-year history, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to preserve this beloved landmark and protect it for generations to come. The project will strengthen the Auditorium, preserve its historic character, enhance accessibility and the visitor experience, and, for the first time ever, ensure it no longer goes dark when the summer season ends. Instead, it will come to life year-round, welcoming audiences for nearly 200 additional days of arts, culture, education, and community programming.
Since 1898, the Chautauqua Auditorium has been one of Colorado's most treasured cultural landmarks, where generations have gathered to experience extraordinary music, inspiring ideas, and unforgettable moments.
Whether your tax-deductible gift is made in honor of this special event or simply because you believe in the future of the Chautauqua Auditorium, your generosity will help preserve one of Colorado's most treasured cultural landmarks and ensure it continues to inspire our community for generations to come. Thank you for being part of this extraordinary effort.
For the first time, Naming Opportunities are also available!
Sponsor a seat, or several seats, to honor friends and family, celebrate a memory, or simply show your enduring love for the arts and our historic community space. Your name and personal message will be displayed on a commemorative seat plaque, seen by tens of thousands of guests who attend world-class performances, concerts, films and events each year.
Become a part of the Colorado Chautauqua’s lasting legacy by purchasing a commemorative brick engraved with your personal message and installed along the path in our beautiful Centennial Garden. This is a great way to celebrate a milestone or to honor a special friend or family member.rt description.
