Nature Center Mural to be Unveiled May 2

The Alpine Lake mural will be unveiled at the MK Nature Center Thursday, May 2; a social event begins at 5 p.m., and the unveiling starts at 6 p.m. Join the MK Nature Center in celebrating the newest addition to the public art displays. The Alpine Lake mural was completed recently by local artist Marcus Pierce. The mural adorns, and hides, the concrete infrastructure that supports the largest and most popular of the Nature Center's underwater viewing windows. Also showcased will be additional public art already in place along the path as well as in the Visitor Center. Refreshments will be available. The event is free and open to the public. The unveiling coincides with the Idaho Gives event also on May 2.
