PUBLIC ART PROJECT - AUSTIN BERGSTROM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Our Mission
This project is a permanent, site specific public artwork designed for Austin–Bergstrom International Airport.
The work will respond to the architecture and flow of the airport, reflect themes of movement, connection, and place, be shaped through community input and engagement, and create a moment of reflection within a busy public space.
The artwork aims to be accessible, welcoming, and meaningful for travelers, airport staff, and the broader Austin community.
