Where Nature Meets Art
Where there is nature, there is art. This year has been a celebration of what we’ve known about DuPage for years — we are a destination where roads intersect. Where a world-renowned arboretum provides the perfect backdrop for an expression of humanity. Where blooming tranquility creates the path for exploration. Where art and recreation unexpectedly and harmoniously combine. Where our urban sophistication yet small-town charm leaves room for big-stage Broadway. And where moments in nature offer true moments of a new-found self. We invite you to get lost in nature and art in DuPage.
