“South Holland has taken the lead in proactively approaching diversity and because art is such a wonderful expression of individual and collective gifts it has a tenacity to break down any walls and any barriers across gender lines, ethnic and racial lines, it is a very proactive way of having people interact with each other.”
- South Holland Mayor Don A. De Graff on the importance of art and why the Village of South Holland has made and effort to showcase art annually at the Artists’ Gallery.
