Sandpoint Reader

The Cedar Street Bridge is sporting a new public mural, courtesy of Art Director Matt Lome, of Cedar Street Studios, who spearheaded a team of local artists of all ages to produce the mural over the summer.

The result is a bright and cheerful piece titled, “Sandpoint Summer, 2025.” 

Contributors to the work included local artists Nanette Miller and Rosie Harris, as well as other local talent, including Ranie Silcott and Whitney Rae Palmer. 

“The mural highlights some of the things we love most about Sandpoint, like riding bikes, spotting eagles or just relaxing in our Adirondacks,” Lome stated. 

“Today, the summer of 2025 may be in our rearview mirrors. But some of that summer spirit has been captured in a whimsical new mural located just outside the front doors of the Cedar Street Bridge,” he added. “Come and visit. Your neighborhood welcomes you.”
