ANAS
DuPage
A DuPage Foundation Initiative
WHEREAS, Arts DuPage has regularly issued official proclamations to all the cities and
villages in DuPage County on an annual basis, designating October as Arts DuPage
Month; and
WHEREAS, the arts embody much of the accumulated wisdom, intellect, and imagination
of humankind; and
WHEREAS, the arts enrich us as individuals and play a unique role in the lives of our
families, and our communities; and
WHEREAS, the arts promote a better understanding of the diversified cultures within our
communities and unify us regardless of age, race, and ethnicity; and
WHEREAS, the arts sector in DuPage County consists of 2,272 arts-related businesses
and accounts for 4.2 percent of the total number of businesses in the region — a larger
share of the economy than transportation, tourism, agriculture, and construction; and
WHEREAS, the arts provide full-time employment for over 15,000 workers in DuPage
County; and
WHEREAS, the arts improve our economy, enrich our civic life, drive tourism and
commerce, and exert a profound positive influence on the education of our children; and
WHEREAS, the arts helped lead us through the darkest times by lifting our spirits, unifying
communities, and providing entertainment. They also play a vital role in enlivening our
public spaces, driving the economy, and elevating the appeal of our County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that |, Ruben Pineda, Mayor of West Chicago,
do hereby proclaim October 2024 as Arts DuPage Month in the City of West Chicago and
call upon our community members to celebrate and promote the arts in DuPage County.
PROCLAIMED this 7" day of October, 2024.
Mayor Ruben Pineda
