Delayed for two weeks is an ordinance establishing a special sign district for a proposed mural, above, on the property at 5 S. Lake Street. The proposed mural is designed by Oswego resident and artist Joshua Schultz and is funded by Aurora Downtown, a nonprofit organization of downtown business and property owners within Special Service Area #One in downtown Aurora. Schultz is a part of the arts scene in downtown Aurora, and recently completed an outdoor mural on LaSalle and Benton streets at Calla Lily Victorian Tea Room. Schultz is a frequent contributor to The ArtBar, and has an extensive painting background as the owner of Creative Edge Murals. Members of the community shared concerns about the City’s need for racial, social, and cultural equity in the arts. The proposed wall, near the intersection of Lake Street and Galena Boulevard is below.
