Our #Suffs watch party last Friday was fantastic! 🎭✨ So many of you showed up with a love for history 📚, an appreciation for strong women 💜, and a passion for musicals 🎶. It truly took an incredible community of partners and supporters to help us “Finish the Fight” together ✊🗳️
If you missed the watch party, you’re still in luck — Suffs is available to stream through June 5 as part of Great Performances on @PBS .
You can also still visit Voices & Votes: Democracy in America at the @utahculturalcelebrationcenter , made possible in Utah by @utahhumanities .

Join us on Saturday, May 30th for another event in our 2026 Speaker Series! Engage with Christopher Cokinos at the Entrada Institute as he shares insight from his book "Still as Bright."
As humanity begins its return to the Moon, it's time to look at the Moon again—and not just as it rises over town and mountains. Humanity's relationship to what was once a mysterious light in the sky reveals so much about us. The Moon is more than a rock. It's an archive of stories, hopes, fears and longing. Ranging from pre-history to the current Artemis program, Chris will share excerpts from his book, talk about everything from folklore to art, and show vivid illustrations. He'll share his personal journey too, one in which the Moon lit both childhood and a father's death. Hopefully, they'll even be time to look at the Moon through his telescope.
This speaker series highlights authors from our 2025 Utah Book Awards. Plan to join us!
