Airport art

| | Comments (1)

Airport Project.jpg So I was reading this story from USA Today about how airports everywhere -- especially smaller ones such as our own Harrisburg International Airport -- are adding art as a way to showcase local talent and give travelers something to look at during long waits due to _____ (fill in the blank with your situation: delayed flight, long layover, long lines, etc.)

I've seen lots of them -- everywhere from BWI to Mexico City.

Some are so cool I've found myself scrounging in my carry-on for my camera to snap a picture. One that stands out in my mind was a series of wooden (?) birds suspended from a terminal ceiling at different heights and positions so that, when viewed from afar, they appeared to be a single bird in flight. Talk about time-intensive!

What a cool way to take advantage of a captive audience and expose them to the region's creativity. I wonder what they're doing at HIA?

Have you seen airport art? Leave a comment and say what it was and where you found it (if you remember -- I often don't).

As much time as I've spent waiting in lines and for delayed flights, I should have taken notice, but I haven't. Thanks for the tip..next time I'll look instead of grumbling.
