Two new exhibits are on display Washington Dulles International (IAD) and Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA) as part of the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority’s Arts Program.
“America!” includes panoramic landscape scenes from around the country shot by members of the American Society of Photographers. The exhibit can be found in the Gateway Gallery at IAD, in the connecting walkway between the AeroTrain C-Gates and the C Concourse.
“The stunning display of photographic images will surely enhance the beauty of Dulles International while showcasing the amazing talent of our 650 members,” says Jon Allyn, executive director of the American Society of Photographers. “The passengers viewing the exhibit will experience the beauty and diversity of America as seen through the eyes of these artists.”
The other exhibit, “Art + Craft” Celebrating the Creativity of Latin America,” is provided by the Inter-American Development Bank Cultural Center. It takes a look at the materials used in artwork from the regions and complements them with works by more recognized talents. Travelers can see the artwork at the Gallery Walk at DCA’s Terminal A, near the underground walkway that connects with the parking garage.
“This exhibition constitutes a landmark contribution by the IDB to the Washington, D.C., cultural life,” says Ivan Duque, IDB chief of Cultural, Solidarity and Creativity Division. “It not only shares the heritage of 17 nations but also highlights the creative talent of the Latin American artisans, transforming an airport into a folk art museum.”
Both displays run through April 30.
