Mosaic, dedication projects unveiled at Riverside Park
POLSON — “From jumping and fishing at the dock, jumping in the freezing water at the Polar Plunge, to watching fireworks on the Fourth of July, Riverside Park has been a place I have gone my whole life to have fun and I want to give back,” said Cameron Decker, Department Head of Fine Arts at SKC. His project is a tri-panel (triptych) tile mosaic composition that will be installed on the west side of the Riverside restrooms. The panels are the focal point to a concrete pad and benches the City of Polson is installing which will be dedicated to the memory of Officer William Cleveland who died of cancer on Nov. 15, 2015. His badge will be replicated and embedded in the mural, thus connecting the two projects. Please join Cameron, et al., in the unveiling of this beautiful addition to the Polson landscape on Sunday, Sept. 24, at 1 p.m. at Riverside Park.
