Call to Artists for Art in the Airport

Staff reports

The Asheville Regional Airport Authority is seeking artists for the next Art in the Airport exhibit. Western North Carolina artists are featured in this rotating exhibit program in a dedicated gallery space as well as throughout the airport terminal.

A new interactive online application form, which can be found at: www.flyavl.com, now makes it easier for artists to apply for the show, which will be on display from June 25 to October 12, 2010. There is no fee to submit artwork, and all pieces are judged by area arts professionals.

Artists are invited to submit between four (4) and ten (10) pieces of
artwork in any medium, bearing in mind that artwork must be suitable
for all audiences.  Applications must be received by Friday, May 21,
2010. To be considered for Art in the Airport, artists must reside in
Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell,
Polk, Rutherford, Transylvania, or Yancey county.

With approximately 600,000 passengers traveling through the
Asheville Regional Airport each year, artwork on display receives
tremendous attention, and artists have the opportunity to sell artwork
with minimal commission fees.
