A Sunset Magazine art ic le by Nicky Leach publ ished more than two decades ago

descr ibed The Entrada Inst itute as an organizat ion “dedicated to preserving the red

rock country and its her itage through arts and education.” The only thing that has

changed i s the breadth and scope of our outreach and ever-growing aud ience.

Increas ing community involvement and v is i tor attendance at our programs has

presented us with new chal lenges and opportunit ies . We’ve outgrown our current

space for operat ions and are looking towards our future. We’ve developed a bold ,

new vision with a supporting strategic plan. Entrada aspires to be the cultural gateway

to Capitol Reef country by exploring the intersections between the arts, humanities,

and sciences in the Colorado Plateau region. Through patronage and community

support this vision can be real ized.

When remodeled, the Entrada House will have the capacity to provide year-round conferences, seminars,

workshops, exhibit ions, focus groups, off ices, and guest accommodations. An expanded wrap-around

porch will provide additional seating for gatherings, festivals, and performances. With your support, the

Entrada House will be transformed into a place to realize the “institute” function of the Entrada Institute.

This flexible space will provide greater opportunity to work with businesses, political leaders, artists,

educators, scientists, and others who want to engage in collaborative problem-solving.
