HSV Launches Airport Artway & Community Art Wall Series Two

 
HUNTSVILLE, ALA. - 
Huntsville International Airport's ongoing partnership with the Carnegie Visual Arts Center in Decatur features professional and budding artists from across the community. The Airport Artway and Community Art Wall exhibits are available for viewing anytime free of charge. This series will be featured for online viewing to abide by social distancing guidelines. 
 
Airport Artway
The Airport Artway is a quarterly exhibit displayed on the second floor of Huntsville International Airport's terminal building.  This area is located just above the airline ticket counters and baggage claim.  This series is titled, "Disappearing Landscapes with Stories Still to Be Told." Rebecca Burns, the Airport Artway Exhibit Coordinator brought works from local artists and artists from Franklin, TN. This series explores farmhouse architecture. This series will be available for viewing until September 13th, due to COVID-19 concerns, you can view this series online at carnegiearts.org or check it out if you are flying in or out of HSV in the coming months. 

Community Art Wall
The Community Art wall has expanded to both sides of the breezeway that connects the airport to the parking garage on the second level. This area displays art created by budding artists in the North Alabama community and is a reminder that anyone can be an artist. This quarter the Community Art Wall is featuring a series entitled "Visit North Alabama" with works from the Pictures of Hope Program based out of Scottsboro, AL. Pictures of Hope is an art program developed by Jackson County Drug Court and Family Wellness Court, along with artist Sonya Clemons, to benefit the Recovery Community in Jackson County.

Due to COVID-19, there will be no artist reception to mix and mingle with the artists. We cannot wait until things are back to normal for everyone to view these series but until then, you can view them online with the links below.
