“I think people like to see real, original, unique art by local artists. You can find so much art online now, you can print anything out, there’s duplicates everywhere, but our art is really from people who live nearby, and this is their true, unique, handmade art.” - The DuPage Art League’s Mary Kate Venturini talking about the WE ARE WOMEN exhibition’s popularity.
