Oil City Main Street Program is conducting a community input survey to gather feedback on the public art in the city. The survey was launched on July 29 and will remain open through August 31.
Main Street is a cooperative between the Oil City and the Oil Region Alliance and has been working to revitalize downtown Oil City since September 2011. It has been accredited by the National Main Street Center each year since 2012 and was designated a Keystone Main Street in 2019.
Within the 5-Year Revitalization Strategy are several arts-based initiatives, including the facilitation of the ARTS Oil City artist relocation initiative and National Transit Artist Studios, the implementation of the Center Street Bridge Illumination Project, and the launch of a Downtown Murals program which has resulted in nine mural projects since 2014.

| The program's Public Art Committee is seeking to build upon its mural initiative by gathering input to help develop a thoughtful plan for future public art installations. The survey includes a combination of open-ended and multiple choice questions, as well as demographic and optional contact sections. It can be completed online or paper copies are available at Oil City hall, Oil City Library,, Oil Region Alliance office, Karma Coffee Co, and Artist's Attic LLC. Completed paper surveys may be delivered to the Oil City Main Street Program at the Oil Region Alliance office, 217 Elm Street, Oil City, by August 31. |  |
