Date Issued: May 27, 2019
Westmont Special Events along with the Westmont First Committee and other community organizations are working together to create a new community arts initiative with the goal of supporting local artists and providing opportunities for them to display and sell their work.
“Westmont has a vibrant and exceptionally talented arts community,” said Maggie South, who is spearheading the coordination of the program. “We want to make sure we highlight our artists because we have something special here that needs to be out in the open and more easily enjoyed by the public.”
A proposal for the initiative was recently presented to the Village Board regarding several specific projects including a community mural program, a regular art show that will coincide with Westmont Cruisin' Nights, an annual juried art show in conjunction with the Westmont Library, and a plan to create murals and other artwork at the train station. The initiative supports goals from Westmont’s Strategic Plan to exemplify beautiful, dynamic, cohesive community life.
At this time, we are asking all local artists to sign up to be part of this initiative. To sign up, please
