Culture / Arts

Thanks for supporting the arts… fine arts, performing arts, industrial arts, culinary arts… you name it! Arts are important.

Keep the arts in STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math.

Think dinner & the show!

Think dinner and the show and combine a gift certificate/card to a restaurant and theater tickets to performances on stage at North Central College. Perhaps give memberships to places such as Naper Settlement, DuPage Children’s Museum, Center Stage or Naperville Art League.

Give DNA gift cards or create an experience in downtown Naperville. Downtown Naperville Gift Cards make great gifts for teachers, coaches, graduates and anyone any time. With a Downtown Naperville gift card, the recipient can find a new outfit, indulge in a relaxing spa treatment, take a fitness class, pick up a pair of new running shoes, discover a great new book or enjoy a wonderful meal among so many choices.

Downtown Naperville gift cards may be purchased in person at the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce (ask for a gift box and bow) or Pinot’s Palette, 175 W. Jackson; or Trails & Tides, 120 Water Street; or Vom Fass, 121 S. Washington (recently added location). You may also order via phone by calling (630) 355-4141 or ordering online.

Or give special certificates for a pair of tickets or an entire table to some other charity gala or golf outing this year.
