Public art to be dedicated at Hayden City Park

HAYDEN — The Hayden Arts Commission has planned a dedication ceremony for a new metal sculpture next week at Hayden City Park.

The sculpture, called “Balance,” was created by Coeur d'Alene artist David L. Clemons.

It’s functional art and can be used as a bike rack at the park and for Hayden City Hall pedestrian traffic.

The arts commission said the public is invited to the ribbon cutting ceremony at 9 a.m. Thursday, July 22.

The sculpture depicts figures maintaining a balance while they are stretched outward in different directions. The figures are holding hands in the center.

The commission said the art's symbolic of teamwork, important in building an effective community.

Hayden City Hall is located at 8930 N. Government Way.
