Public Art Survey

Thank you to everyone who participated in the public art survey. This feedback is important in shaping the future of public art in Naperville. Some of the key findings include:

  • Role of public art. Most respondents believe public art should spark creativity and joy (82%). Other important roles include fostering community pride and diversity (66%) and celebrating Naperville’s history (66%).  
  • Interest in public art. Nearly half of the respondents (45%) highly value public art and believe it is essential to a community. Another 44% value public art and consider it to be important. 
  • Preferred locations for public art are downtown and parks.  Downtown areas and commercial districts (91%) ranked highest for public art placement, followed by parks and green spaces (76%).  

*Please note that survey respondents could select multiple answers to certain questions, so percentages may exceed 100%.

This survey included fewer than 20 questions and took about five minutes to complete. Naperville used Polco, a civic engagement platform used by local governments, to conduct the survey. The full analysis of the text responses takes additional time to categorize and summarize the valuable feedback shared by the respondents. This ensures we accurately capture and reflect respondents' perspectives. View the survey results report:
