➡️ The Fox Valley is rich in local art history. While one of the most famous artists to come out of Aurora was Ruth Van Sickle Ford, there are many more stories to uncover. Arts festival director Marissa Amoni will use stories and her own experiences to paint a picture of an active arts scene from Aurora to Elgin.
