It took a community to put together the 90-foot-long Waterfront District mosaic mural along the Garden City, Idaho Greenbelt. The culmination of this massive project was made possible only through the fusion of its unique Greenbelt location, the creative energy of Surel’s Place, and the visionary leadership of renowned mosaic artist, Reham Aarti. This video documents the October 3rd, 2025 dedication, which coincided with First Friday and a showing by the Waterfront Community artists.
