Lil midweek road trip to Mullinville, Kansas, the Yard Art Capital of the World! This wacky roadside display was created by M.T. Liggett, who used scrap metal to craft bold, kinetic sculptures that blend satire, politics, and folk art. His vibrant collection along Highway 54 is a must-see for lovers of quirky, thought-provoking creativity. Other top contenders for the title of yard art capital of the world include Lucas, Kansas, known for the iconic Garden of Eden, and Sebastopol, California, a hub of inventive sculpture, also make compelling cases for the title. Closer to home, we’re pretty darn proud of Salida’s own Shelby Cox, a talented local artist whose work showcases our town’s creative spirit.
