The Arts at the Airport program showcases gallery exhibitions and performing arts to travelers year-round.
The depARTures Gallery, located post-security in the Connector C Concourse, features rotating exhibitions every 3-4 months from local and regional organizations and artist collectives. The gallery is complemented by live performances held near the iconic “Giant Slalom” bronze sculpture in the ticketing hall. These performances feature a wide range of talent, from cultural dances and traditional music to acapella singing and bands, offering a welcoming experience to the public.
