Through their philanthropic spirit, the Kottemanns support of the arts include significant donations to the Peoria Art Guild and to Bradley University allowing both of these entities to improve and advance their own positions as prominent cultural arts assets in our community. They have been longtime advocates of Lakeview Museum. From serving on the Board of Directors and the Collections Committee to donating from their own private collection to enhance the museum’s inventory, they have been instrumental in building and strengthening Peoria arts.
