Atchison motorists, traveling west on U.S. Highway 59, will notice a new art installation, complete with large gears, representing movement.  

The artwork, titled “On the Go,” was installed last week by the City of Atchison and the Atchison Art Association, placed in the roadside park rest area, located on west U.S. Highway 59.  

Atchison Art Association Executive Director Deborah Geiger says the sculpture was created by artist Craig Schroer.  

“On the Go” was donated to the City of Atchison by the Art Association.  

Atchison Vice-Mayor Allen Reavis, in a Facebook comment made to a post announcing the installation, calls the sculpture “a wonderful addition to the Atchison Art Scene,” while thanking the local art association and Geiger, saying, “you make art fun again!”
