Public Programs
Combining education with entertainment, the CHF annually offers over 160 programs featuring the best and brightest scholars, artists, historians, journalists, performers, filmmakers, critics, and personalities.

Education Programs
Each year, CHF distributes over 15,000 free tickets to students and teachers, offering dynamic learning opportunities that include comprehensive study guides, a Summer Institute for Teachers, a student Creative Writing Seminar, numerous Meet the Author or Composer programs, and more.

Nominal Ticket Prices
Advancing CHF’s goal of inclusiveness, the admission price to each program is only $5 (with very few exceptions). Maintaining this policy attracts as wide an audience as possible.
