International street artist ARCY will come to El Dorado Springs, Missouri, Friday June 2 as part of his 2023 live event mural tour across the United States.
Area residents are invited to come throughout the day to watch ARCY paint and to enjoy the full day of festivities at the West Central Liston Center, 508 N. Main Street.
Local artists and crafters are also invited to join the event’s Art and Maker Space.
MAKER SPACE SIGN UPThe El Dorado Springs event “Legacy and Vision Alive at Liston” will celebrate rural youth, education, and entrepreneurship.
The West Central Liston Center is named after longtime local educator Sally Liston. ARCY’s mural will portray a young, turn-of-the-century Sally Liston imagining infinite horizons for herself and all El Dorado Springs children.
Legacy and Vision Alive at Liston is a free event hosted by West Central Missouri Community Action Agency and the New Growth Women’s Business Center.
The opportunity to have ARCY come to El Dorado Springs is the result of a winning raffle ticket at a recent Missouri Main Street conference. West Central and New Growth opted to honor the city of El Dorado Springs and Sally Liston’s legacy with a mural at the Liston Center. The two organizations work out of the Liston Center providing assistance to rural individuals, families, and entrepreneurs.

Known for his paint-splashed style of large-scale street art, ARCY has been defining his skills for over a decade. In 2015, ARCY announced his inaugural North American live event mural tour, where he took his skills on the road, spray painting 8′ x 12′ live event walls in front of thousands of onlookers in many of the largest cities across the nation.
Since then, ARCY has created hundreds of live murals and permanent large scale works throughout North America, Australia, and Europe. ARCY has worked for the likes of The Smithsonian Institute, Major League Baseball, America’s National Parks Service, and is currently developing a collaborative body of work for The Walt Disney Company.
