BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:

BACKGROUND:
A special event and cultural amenity fund grant was recently awarded to the Naperville Art Forum by the City Council for the installation of an artistic light display to celebrate spring. This is a temporary art display; only being up during April and May of this year. Attached is a project brief and a more detailed description of what is proposed.
DISCUSSION:
The display projects light onto different surfaces to show various sping-themed items and shapes. Attached are some photos showing some of the art they have projected at other locations along with what they propose on the Riverwalk. The Naperville Art Forum is requesting to locate this display on the Naperville Riverwalk near the dandelion fountain and the covered bridge.
The artist is committed to working with the Naperville Park District to ensure the display does not interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Riverwalk. A representative from the Naperville Art Forum is planning to attend our meeting to answer any questions members of the Riverwalk Commission may have.
