Art At The Airport

Airport art programs are a source of great cultural pride displayed at major airports across the globe. The art serves as a way of introducing travelers and newcomers to the heart and soul of a community.

That’s true at Jacksonville International Airport.  Right now, the JIA Arts Commission is putting out a 2020 call to artists.

Jeanne Ward, Founding Member and Secretary with the JIA Arts Commission; and Jen Jones Murray, Arts Program Coordinator for the JIA Arts Commission, joined us with more information.
