The Chautauqua Institution is a cultural community that comes alive each summer with a unique mix of visual art, fine craft art, performing arts, lectures, interfaith worship, and recreational programs. Visiting Chautauqua Institution is a trip more than 170,000 visitors make each year. To help plan your trip beyond the show, visit the Chautauqua Institution’s website.

The Fine Craft and Art Shows presented by the Crafts Alliance take place twice a summer on the beautiful grounds at the Chautauqua Institution. Not only are the shows an opportunity to interact with some of the nation’s finest artists, it’s also a perfect excuse to plan a visit to Chautauqua Lake.
