1. Pocket Park Marker
A project of the Wheeling Arts and Cultural Commission, it was Wheeling's first contemporary art installation. Built as temporary - all the sculptures have been re-purposed and placed around town after the park was dismantled. Artists included Robert Villamagna, Susan Tracy Maness, and Mike Nelson. Privately funded, the major partner for the project was the City of Wheeling.
