The unveiling of the art installation, titled Naperville's Music Box, was supposed to take place last week, but Shannon Greene Robb with nonprofit Art Forum Naperville said the snow had other plans.
"We couldn't have really gotten a truck in there to start loading, so that was really the problem," she said. "It was more about getting the piece to the truck with all this snow, and there wasn't a snowplow there yet."
But Greene Robb said it was important to the community to have that space to unveil the piece in person, so the nonprofit worked with the city to figure out a new date.
"So much of the world right now is about you pick up your phone and you can find out anything. You can have any answer to anything you ever want," she said. "With this there's that anticipatory feeling ... I think that is something that we kind of lack in our society a little bit."
The event will now take place Tuesday afternoon in downtown Naperville in the alley between the Apple Store and Sephora.
Greene Robb said the piece is a temporary art installation that transforms an alleyway into an immersive experience of sound, color, and light.
"I think to this scale, I don't believe there's been something of this magnitude," she said. "It's quite a large piece. I think it's about 20 feet high and maybe 15 feet across."
She said she hopes the piece inspires the community and offers a change of pace in people's daily routine.
"I do think it's going to be magical," she said. "I think it will excite people and inspire people that what we see every day, this space between two buildings, and then what could it be?"
