West Palm Beach, Fla: (Sept. 27, 2021)- Palm Beach International Airport, in partnership with Palm Beach County Art in Public Places, is excited to announce the theme of “MORE HOPE & LOVE” for the upcoming exhibition.
The upcoming exhibition will showcase artworks by 15 artists who call the Palm Beaches home. The exhibition includes exclusive interviews with featured artists that will play on continuous loop at the Art Gallery and air as “Creativity Takes Flight” on Palm Beach County’s TV Station, Channel 20, with clips shared via social media. Centrally located on level 2 in the atrium near the putting green, the Art Gallery’s pre-security location encourages passengers and locals to stop by to discover unique artistic expressions by locally and internationally renowned artists.
This exhibition’s theme, “MORE HOPE & LOVE”, takes heartfelt aim at channeling the power and energy of hope, healing, love and community unity. In addition to relating to the exhibitions theme, artists will share the influence COVID-19 had on their selected artwork. Art will be selected by a Selection Panel including members of the County’s Public Art Committee, a representative from PBI, and Brian Wood, a licensed mental health counselor, therapeutic art counselor, and artist. Elayna Toby Singer, Palm Beach County Art in Public Places Administrator, is the Airport Art Gallery’s Curator.
“We are thrilled to highlight local artists in PBI’s Art Gallery and to inspire more love and hope in the public realm,” says Lacy Larson, director of communications for Palm Beach County Department of Airports. “The world needs more hope and love and our goal is to bring a bit of additional joy to our passengers, guests, and employees while at PBI.”
The exhibition runs November 17, 2021 – May 17, 2022.
