Whether you love them or hate them, New Year’s resolutions are a longstanding American tradition.

We all have things we want to get done within the 365-day time container known as a year, and those things include cultural explorations and activities.

The Cultural Trust’s Oregon Culture: A Field Guide’s Life List function can help would-be cultural explorers organize their ambitions and check off those goals once they are done. It’s easy: go to Oregon Culture: A Field Guide’s Activities List, create an account, and begin scrolling through the 125+ activities by county, discipline or organization name. Read about the different activities and add those that intrigue you to your life list. Share your life list and favorite activities with friends via Facebook and Twitter. Then go out and make culture happen for yourself!Our second challenge to you: once you make your list, make plans, including travel plans, to check off all your items by December 31!

Welcome to 2014! May this be a wonderful year for all Oregonians!
