San Diego International Airport, the busiest single-runway in the United States, is home to an innovative and internationally respected Arts Program. The program reflects the airport’s role as a welcoming gateway to the unique culture and community of the San Diego region and enriches the patron experience through three main areas of focus: Public Art, Performing Arts, and Temporary Exhibitions. Through a 2% allocation of eligible Capital Improvement Project costs, over twenty five (25) large-scale, permanent artworks have been commissioned for the airport’s public art collection. These works are the results of direct artist-design team collaborations, where the artist collaborated with airport designers throughout the entire creative process (concept, design, fabrication, and construction). Such intentional site-specific consideration of the airport environment and patron experience is the hallmark of the Authority’s Arts Program. Ongoing weekly concerts and a reoccurring twelve month residency program for on-site performing artists (the nation’s first such residency at an airport) are features of the Performing Arts component and serve to offer patrons an entertaining, enjoyable, and perhaps unexpected compliment to their travels. The annual Temporary Exhibitions program features thematic exhibitions throughout the terminals, that highlight the work of local artists, collectors, cultural and education organizations. |
