Celebrate Arts DuPage Month
and Increase Your Visibility by Taking the
#ArtsDuPageMonthChallenge!

It's almost October and time to start planning for Arts DuPage Month! Now is the time to come together in a unified celebration of DuPage County's artistic landscape and spread awareness of its impact.

Start by participating in the Arts DuPage Month Challenge. Just create an arts-related Facebook post, include #ArtsDuPageMonthChallenge and tag or challenge your friends to do the same. Arts DuPage will re-share your posts on our social media channels so you and/or your organization will be in the spotlight!

Here's what you need to know:

What is the #ArtsDuPageMonthChallenge ?

Running from October 1 though October 31, the #ArtsDuPageMonthChallenge is a social media campaign designed to showcase the power of the arts in DuPage County and demonstrate how the arts positively impact our lives. You can participate by posting an image or short video on your Facebook page along with your description. No post is too big or too small – maybe a child gave you a hand-made birthday card or your neighbor held a porch concert. It’s share-worthy! Be sure to include #ArtsDuPageMonthChallenge and then tag others to “challenge” them to post their own Arts DuPage Month Challenge and so on. Viral it goes! 
 
Example: 

Ginger takes photos. She prints an enlargement of a favorite image, frames it and hangs it in her office. Ginger takes a photo of her work (or a selfie with the work) and describes her experience in a post. As she posts, she tags someone else to challenge them to also discuss why the arts are important to them.

Ginger's post would read: 
I was asked by XXXX to take the #ArtsDuPageMonthChallenge: As an avid amateur photographer, I love to see the fleeting image in my lens become a captured memory. I took this picture when I was in Florida and framed for a friend. It turned out so nice that I may have to frame one for myself! I challenge you @debbievenezia to post your Arts DuPage Month Challenge! #showyourart2020. My thought about art: It’s fun and beautiful!
 
Be sure to tag someone else and include the words highlighted in purple in the post above.
