This summer, “Olmec Trails” pays tribute to the indigenous roots of Mexican heritage and 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. Based on the colossal stone heads, crafted by the Olmecs between 1400 BCE to 400 BC, installations will be located at numerous sites throughout DuPage County and one location in Kane County at the Library.  See current locations www.olmectrails.com.
