ArtForum is requesting $15,000 of SECA public art calendar year 2026 set-aside funding for the Lotus public art installation project, at Paddleboat Quarry (441 Aurora Ave, Naperville, IL).
The SECA Commission reserved a total of $15,000 for public art requests that arise throughout CY2026. No other requests for this funding have been granted this year. Staff recommends that ArtForum’s Lotus public art installation project be granted a public art set-aside funding amount of $15,000. Any unused public art set-aside funds will revert to the food and beverage fund.
