About LUNA
LUNA is a 25-foot tall inflatable sculpture designed by Pittsburgh, PA visual artist Morton Brown, who specializes in creative placemaking that enlivens communities.
LUNA will arrive in central Arkansas in late March 2024 and will bring focus and attention to central Arkansas communities and the total eclipse happening on April 8.
More than 1.5 million visitors are expected to visit Arkansas communities, including Conway and Morrilton, that are in the path of totality to view this once-in-a-lifetime event.
