The Bartle Hall Pylons are four, approximately 335-foot, concrete and steel columunar structures that support steel cables that suspend Bartle Hall Convention Center above Truman Road and Interstate highway I-670 in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. The pylons are topped by four sculptures that are part of the city's skyline.

The scuptural elements that crown the Bartle Hall pylons, called "Sky Stations", were designed by artist R.M. Fischer in 1994. Each of the works is made of aluminum and steel, approximately 24-feet by 15-feet in diameter, and 20 to 25-feet in height. They were primarily inspired by the 1930s Art Deco chandelier and decorative design elements throughout Municipal Auditorium, which is adjacent to Bartle Hall.
The "Sky Stations" were placed atop each pillar via helicopter.
