“This is an idea that we’ve been talking about for some time,” said Trustee Bruce Barker, chair of the Westmont First Committee. “We think murals in the community will add to the aesthetic attractiveness of our downtown, but might also become a destination for residents and guests of the community to come out and see. At this point in time, we’re looking to get community feedback to see if there is interest in such a program.”
The Westmont First Committee recently discussed the possibility of developing a community mural project to support art and culture in Westmont. Initially, the project might focus on the central business district. Village staff has researched other communities and their art and mural projects. The scope of the research has reviewed items such as artistic guidelines, private and public partnership, and project funding.
