From Oregon Chautauqua programs to Teacher Institutes and special projects, OCH events happen every month in communities around the state. The calendar also lists events that have been funded by OCH Public Program and Opportunity Grants. These include individual events that are directly funded by OCH and those that are part of a larger project or series that OCH has funded in part. All event information is subject to change. OCH recommends contacting local sponsoring organizations to confirm the date, time, and location of the programs you plan to attend.
