Exposition: 'The Charleston Missouri Landmark Project' Artist Proposals Bring Mary Manley's Tourism Vision to Life
About this episode
The episode discusses the Charleston Missouri Landmark Project and its impact on tourism through artist proposals for kinetic sculptures.
The Charleston Missouri Landmark Project, led by arts consultant Matthew Jarratt and funded by native benefactor Mary Manley, attracted 140 international applicants—narrowed down to six shortlisted artists—proposing large-scale, kinetic sculptures. Each is designed to transform on the hour and aims to bring in tourism off I‑57 into downtown Charleston, Missouri.
