The Art Program at the International Airport is directed by Constance White.
Ms. White has brought energy, elegance and excellence to our city. The
airport is a pride and joy and the best introduction any visitor could
have to our county.
I
was lucky enough to get a guided tour of the new additions to the west
of terminal two. One of the most impressive installations is that of
Jim Campbell called The Journey. It stretches down the length of the
gates and the lights flow and glow.
I
was struck by the intense detail of construction in every direction.
There was such attention given to each aspect of this impressive
project.
The food court is especially attractive, with multiple option from local sources but all unified in design aethetic. The giant chandelier set the tones for fine dining instead of speed eating.
The new art gallery is a true jewel in the crown for artist who are also represented by a large number of changing exhibition throughout the airport. Next year the theme for the shows will be featuring art and science combination in keeping with our own DNA of Creativity project. . In visiting a few other airports during this holiday season, it is very apparent how shining and new our own is in comparison. Even the restrooms are exciting and have a true stamp of life in our fair city with ever changing video vistas. And still to come are two special rooms - one a media installation and a meditation room, plus a few more surprises yet to be revealed.

ReplyDeletePaintings not photography by Nemour. Thanks for updating.
ReplyDeleteSorry, these are paintings not photographs by Leslie Nemour. The gallery is closed until they get a building certification so I had to see the works through the glass. I am told by Constance White that the gallery will be open fully in the future.
