21st-century Chautauquas

The Chautauqua adult education movement flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, then declined. However, some Independent Chautauquas still operate today, and these are the 21st century Chautauquas. They are divided into two categories, Continuously Operating Chautauquas and Revival Chautauquas.

Continuously Operating Chautauquas

All references agree that at least these four Chautauquas have continued operations, without missing a year, from the heyday of the Chautauqua Movement (1920s or earlier) into the 21st Century:

In addition, several other entities self-report that their activities constitute Continuously Operating Chautauquas:

Revival Chautauquas

Some other organizations have honored the Chautauqua tradition by starting (or restarting) similar operations in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Examples include the following:

gollark: And you missed atan2.
gollark: I think it's cool and good™. Also, the hyperbolic ones are wrong.
gollark: And maybe add some error correction code.
gollark: I would personally drop the alpha channel, run it through zstandard or something for bigger files, reduce it to maybe 2 bits per color channel, and add some reference areas so a scanner knows the maximum color.
gollark: Oh, and your screen cannot actually display the alpha channel.
