Listen Later

Today we have a very special guest joining us: the talented artist, Stephen Chesley. In this episode, we dive into Stephen's involvement in the Urban Canvas Project, a unique art initiative that aims to engage the public in dialogue about art. We'll learn about Stephen's collaboration with Michaela Brown, how they turned their virtual art project into a tangible, public artwork, and their vision of moving the art around the city to create unexpected displays.

We also explore the vibrant arts community in Columbia, South Carolina, and its historical development, including the transformation of the Vista area. From the City Beautiful movement to the integration of 3D planning, Stephen shares his insights on the city's creative evolution.

Join us as we discuss the importance of promoting the community's resources and quality of life, connecting talent with art projects, and preserving the natural elements of the city in long-term development plans.

We'll also explore the challenges faced by artists and local businesses due to gentrification and rising rents. So, grab your headphones and get ready to be inspired by the vibrant art scene and creative projects in Columbia. Let's begin this artistic journey together on this episode of "Around Town"!
