DOWNERS GROVE, Illinois—The DuPage Foundation’s newest initiative, Arts DuPage, is excited to launch its new monthly e-newsletter, Arts Alive!
“One of Arts DuPage’s goals was to create an e-newsletter that can be used to promote posted events to a rapidly growing audience,” said Debbie Venezia, director of Arts DuPage. “Our inaugural issue highlights many of the diverse arts and culture offerings throughout DuPage County.”

Arts DuPage has also contracted with Matt Biespiel, a Chicago-area branding consultant, to design strategic branding messaging for the initiative. Biespiel will be conducting phone interviews with Advisory Committee members and then inviting the interviewees and other Foundation friends to participate in a one-day workshop.
Arts DuPage is a county-wide arts council focused on promoting creativity and nurturing engagement and investment in the arts throughout DuPage. “Thanks to a generous commitment from an anonymous donor, all expenses for the first three years of this exciting initiative will be underwritten,” said Dave McGowan, Foundation president & CEO. “By providing the public with comprehensive information about what to do and where to go for unique cultural experiences, the Foundation hopes to inspire greater participation in the arts and creativity throughout DuPage County.
