2018 Flying Solo Exhibition Series - Nashville International Airport

Established in 1988, the Arts at the Airport Foundation showcases Tennessee's cultural heritage and creative talents through rotating public art exhibitions and permanent acquisitions at Nashville International Airport. The terminal and surrounding facilities were designed to incorporate these exhibitions for the enjoyment and enrichment of passengers, visitors, and employees.
