The Center of the American West
The Center's mission is to explore the distinctive character and issues that are of paramount importance to Westerners; to bring to bear widely diverse insights as we explore the West of the past, examine the present, and prepare for the future; and thus help Westerners become well-informed, participating citizens in their communities and the West. The Center's program brings together people from every Western cultural tradition and occupation in settings where all Westerners can contribute to the dialog ue about critical matters ranging from water and grazing to regional identity, from community development to public policy, and from the region's history to the character of Western literature, music, and arts.
