The main entrance to the MAC convention center has been enhanced with a new sculpture entitled “Sunrise”, by artist Bill King. The sculpture represents two sod-busting pioneers walking off into their fields. Colored pavement bands symbolizing agricultural crop rows link the sculpture to the adjacent arrival court. In the court’s center island is a sculpted mound that is accented by a stone “runnel” feature. The feature’s individual tapered stone channels represent the fan-shaped drainage patterns common to the city’s river bluffs along the Missouri.
