The purpose of the Regional Arts Network is to bring you information about arts and culture in the south metro region, and to focus on the efforts of the "Business in the Arts Council."

The mission of the council is to: promote the arts in the Chicago Southland through creative marketing; create an awareness in the business community that the arts contribute to the marketability of the area; provide a reference of art sources in the region; and encourage the support of the arts by business and industry.
