West Chicago's Cultural Arts Commission seeks community input

As cities across the country have learned, the addition of public art offers many benefits.

West Chicago residents responded with strong agreement to some of these benefits, and added several others of their own, in a survey administered by its cultural arts commission seeking feedback in its development of a public art master plan. The results of this survey are now available.

Now, the cultural arts commission is posing another aspect of the developing plan for public comment and is asking residents to choose what types of art installations they would like to see in town.

Links to the survey, which may be found in English and Spanish, are available at westchicago.org/arts/.

The survey period runs through Friday, Jan. 31.

For those who prefer filling out a print survey, stop by the city hall, 475 Main St.; Gallery 200, 103 W. Washington St.; or the City Museum, 132 Main St.
