NAME THE PAINTING
As part of a community outreach initiative, Riverside Arts Center, in collaboration with Village Trustee Joseph Fitzgerald, is hosting a public naming contest for a painting commissioned by Fitzgerald and created by Chicago-based artist David Heo, whose work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. The painting draws inspiration from Riverside’s origins as a thoughtfully planned community, referencing Frederick Law Olmsted’s landscape principles through an idealized park setting that blends historical and contemporary elements. Symbolic details—such as integrated infrastructure, curated green space, and figures oriented toward both reflection and curiosity—serve as visual metaphors for continuity, stewardship, and generational transition.
