Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Celebrates their Artists

The Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport employees brought forth their artwork once again to be displayed on the walls of the rental car center.  The rental center is a huge two story building that most passengers file through at some point during their journey providing great exposure for the participating artists.  Many artists have commented that it gives them a great sense of pride to have their artwork hanging in such a public space.  Adding to this is the fact that the show stays up for four months allowing their artwork to be seen by thousands of people who visit the DFW airport during their travels.

One such fan of the show is employee and amateur artist Ruth Olinger (pictured), who proudly displayed her mixed media sculpture entitled “Where is the Beef” at the awards reception held on May 28th. With numerous airport officials including Ken Buchanan, Executive Vice President of Revenue Management,  on hand to personally congratulate all the artists, it’s no wonder participants can’t help but be excited about this opportunity.  Coordinators Kori Stolar and Guy Bruggeman stated the annual event has become one of the favorites at the airport especially since it is the only program that allows  family members to take part.

As the show approaches it’s tenth anniversary with the NAP next year, we hope that it continues to thrive and build a greater sense of community through the arts among the airport employees and those travelers just passing through.
