Why humanities?

Humanities help us understand the world around us. They allow us to imagine and create the future. Humanities are everything related to humans, their ideas, beliefs, emotions, and relationships.

History Live!

History Live! is the Southwest Colorado Humanities Roundtable's series of programs, presented in the month of September, that highlight the humanities.

Chautauqua

Chautauqua is a living history program in which performers, in costume and in character, bring historical figures to life in theatrical monologues.
