Airport Artway

The Airport Artway is a quarterly exhibit displayed on the second floor of Huntsville International Airport's terminal building.

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.
