The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

The exhibition, which typically features approximately 200 paintings selected from over 1,000 submissions by members of the OPA, has never in its 15-year history returned to another city outside of the OPA’s hometown of Chicago.

“We were truly overwhelmed by the town’s response in welcoming us and celebrating the work, so it was kind of a no-brainer to come back,” said Kathryn Beligratis, executive director of the OPA. “Dudley (Dana, owner of the Dana Gallery) and his staff did such a tremendous job that we all felt he had earned it.”
