NAPERVILLE, Ill. ~ Naperville, Illinois - The City of Naperville has recently announced the six talented artists whose submissions have been chosen to wrap streetlight controller boxes throughout the community. These young artists were selected through a Call for Teen Artists that was held earlier this spring.

Among the chosen artists are Avani Aggarwal, Jumana Janoowalla, Soha Javaid, Olivia Mancha, Annie O'Boyle, and Alice Wang. All six students attend either Neuqua Valley High School or Naperville Central High School. Their unique contributions will transform ordinary streetlight controller boxes into beautiful works of public art that will enhance the community and leave a lasting impact.

Dawn Portner, City Clerk of Naperville, expressed her excitement for the project and praised the talents of the chosen artists. "We are very pleased with the artwork chosen for the six streetlight controller boxes. Each of the finalists displayed their talents in such a unique way. It's exciting to be part of this project, and I can't wait to see the finished product," she said.
