Editing Berwyn, Illinois (section)

=== Public art ===
Berwyn was notable for the sculpture ''[[Spindle (sculpture)|Spindle]]'', created by artist [[Dustin Shuler]] and located in the Cermak Plaza shopping center along with other works of art. The Spindle was shown in the 1992 film ''[[Wayne's World (film)|Wayne's World]]''. It was demolished and scrapped on the night of May 2, 2008 to make way for a new [[Walgreens]]. Grassroots efforts to Save the Spindle failed to raise the $300,000+ that it would have taken to dismantle and relocate it.  This was a major upset among supporters of the sculpture, considering that it did not encroach upon the new Walgreens' final location. The two topmost cars were placed in storage; {{as of|2012|lc=on}} the [[Berwyn Route 66 Museum]] on [[U.S. Route 66 in Illinois|Ogden Avenue]] proposes to incorporate them into a reconstruction of the Spindle.

Beginning 2019, the city has cooperated with a non-profit known as the Berwyn Public Art Initiative to provide opportunities for independent artists to create public art throughout the city.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Our Work |url=https://www.berwynpublicartinitiative.org/who-we-are |access-date=2024-02-05 |website=Berwyn Public Art Initiative |language=en-US}}</ref>
