Where Nature Meets Art

DuPage County is a destination where roads intersect. Where blooming tranquility creates the path for exploration. Where art and recreation unexpectedly and harmoniously combine. And where moments in nature offer true moments of a new-found self. We invite you to immerse yourself in nature and art in DuPage.

Of The Earth

Excitement awaits at The Morton Arboretum with Of the Earth, a captivating exhibition featuring five exclusive large-scale sculptures by acclaimed Polish American artist, Olga Ziemska. Her work is created from reclaimed tree branches and other natural materials gathered from the Arboretum’s 1,700 acres. Each masterpiece, entwining and melding the human body with other natural forms, carries a poignant meaning. For example, 'Hear: with an ear to the ground,' encourages spectators to be at peace with their surroundings, all while reminding us of our own physicality and connection to the earth and nature. Let the sculptures invite you to rediscover your own essence intertwined with the beauty of the natural world.

On display through Spring 2025 The Morton Arboretum www.mortonarb.org

Olmec Trails: Culture & Legacy

Travel back in time to the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, specifically to 1400 BCE, to an ancient city now known as Veracruz, Mexico. This was the cultural capital of the Olmecs and currently has the largest display of headshaped stone sculptures. Each multi-ton sculpture, chiseled from a single stone using primitive tools, reflected the Olmecs' artistic capabilities and their significant influence on subsequent Mesoamerican cultures.

“Olmec Trails” pays tribute to the indigenous roots of Mexican heritage as well as brings attention to the importance of public art by showcasing the immense talent and creativity of more than 30 contemporary artists from across North America. This ambitious exhibition provides access to the culture of Olmec civilization in a fresh and accessible way by featuring hand-painted large-scale renditions of these iconic Mesoamerican sculptures. Installed on natural areas and nature trails throughout DuPage, “Olmec Trails” will connect spectators to these one of a kind works while providing healthy and enjoyable outdoor experiences with both physical and mental benefits.

France at Cantigny

Amidst the tranquil beauty of the sprawling Cantigny estate, anticipation fills the air for a year brimming with excitement.

Cantigny’s theme for 2024 is France, offering a diverse array of activities such as festivals, classes, concerts, exhibits, and family programs.

The connection to France runs deep; Cantigny is named for the French village where Robert R. McCormick, Cantigny's benefactor, joined in the first American victory in World War I as a member of the U.S. Army’s 1st Infantry Division.

The First Division Museum at Cantigny honors the unit’s proud history. In 2024, the museum marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day with an immersive outdoor exhibit commemorating the historic events of June 6, 1944, in Normandy, France.

Nature meets art throughout the famous gardens of Cantigny, which this year feature the fables of French poet Jean de La Fontaine. Whimsical elements, colors, and interpretive panels carry the theme, along with seasonal plantings inspired by renowned French paintings.

Voyage en France, a one-day festival on July 20, and the Olympic Games in Paris, provide even more celebration points. Visitors can enjoy the Games during outdoor viewing parties in a garden setting at the newfor-2024 Cantigny Beer Garden.

A partnership with Paris Saint-Germain Academy in Chicago will draw youth soccer players to Cantigny for a skills camp and Soccer FEST in July.

Throughout 2024 Cantigny www.cantigny.org

Where there is nature, there is art. Feel the strokes of creativity as they seamlessly intertwine, beckoning you to embark on a journey where the realms of nature and art converge in a blended expression of inspiration.

Where the Wild Things Are

Brookfield Zoo

Member of the Chicago Zoological Society

As one of the world’s most dedicated zoological institutions, Brookfield Zoo stays true to its mission of “inspiring conservation leadership by connecting people with wildlife and nature.” Not only do they offer a wide variety of educational opportunities and animal encounters for the public, but they are also on the forefront of animal research and conservation efforts.

Cosley Zoo

Celebrating 50 Years in 2024

If you’re looking for a zoo on a smaller scale, this animal oasis is the perfect place. The zoo exclusively features native animals in domestic environments. From small birds and critters, to horses, goats, and cows, Cosley Zoo aims to create connections and empathy with animals all around us while teaching the community about animal conservation.

Danada Equestrian Center

White picket fences, a charming mansion, and a legend in horse history beckon you to explore these graceful grounds. The name is a combination of the original owners Dan and Ada Rice, who established the farm in 1928. Decades later, the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County purchased the land to restore and transform Danada into what it is today. The Ada L. Rice stables are still in regular use today and frequently visited and enjoyed by horse lovers from near and far.

Fermilab Natural Areas

As part of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, this is one of the largest restored prairies in the Midwest – home to roaming bison. It was the vision of Fermilab’s founder, Robert Wilson, to be at the “frontier of science while also bringing back the original frontier.” The first heard of bison were brought to the lab in 1969 and have continued to be a visitor draw for nearly half a century.

LOCAL INSIDER TIP:

Make sure you go to Fermilab in the spring when the new baby bison are born!

Willowbrook Wildlife Center

For over 70 years, this native wildlife rehabilitation facility has provided care and medical treatment to thousands of injured, sick, and/or orphaned animals. People come from near and far to bring wildlife to the center to give them the care they need. It also serves as a resource to teach residents about living in harmony with wildlife, and what to do in the event they come across an animal who needs rescuing.
