Naperville Art League invites all residents and friends, young and old, to vote for their favorite work of art. The League’s annual Public Art Competition, themed “Juxtapose” is normally a Gallery event at the Naperville Fine Art Center & Gallery at 508 N. Center Street.
Due to the COVID-19 Stay-at-Home order, the show is online and voting has been extended to Friday, April 24.
“We think this is exciting. It is the first time this annual competition has been online and it’s getting a lot of attention,” noted Sally Sharp, NAL president. “We added a People’s Choice Award this year. Our hope is to engage the community and provide a source of joy in these tough times.”

“We know this is something children will find interesting as they try to find their favorite,” Sharp said. “When children come to our Gallery, they really enjoy making a game of finding their favorite art.”
All items in the show are original and most are available for sale, Sharp added.
