Passport to the Humanities
About Passport to the Humanities
Passport to the Humanities is an annual event that invites you to get curious and explore new stories and ways of thinking that help us better understand ourselves and the world around us. Each year we take time to highlight and uplift different aspects of our work and impact through unique themes and experiences.

Our work throughout the year with partners and collaborators increases collective understanding of ourselves, our communities, and our histories through stories and experiences. We focus our work in two primary ways: Through rich, varied, dynamic and transformative public and private programming and through inclusive, responsive grantmaking. Our annual Passport to the Humanities puts it all on display, and all are welcome to experience it firsthand.
