Arts Program News

Exhibit at the Gallery Walk in Terminal A - The current exhibit, Pushing Process, is an integral part of both glass art and printmaking. By stretching the limits of the media, be it glassblowing, metal casting, woodcut, intaglio, or more, artists find new ways to present their art to the world. The works you see in this exhibition were made by the artists pushing past the normal limits of their media to create something new and exciting. The Gallery Walk is located in Terminal A between the Historic Lobby and the present-day ticketing lobby.
