Commissioned Art | Rotating Exhibits | Performing Arts

Arts @MSP is a partnership between the Metropolitan Airports Commission and the Airport Foundation MSP that showcases the Upper Midwest’s diverse artistic community, natural environment and cultural heritage. The mission of the Arts @MSP program is to enhance the image of the Minneapolis[1]St. Paul International Airport (MSP), enrich the public’s experience and promote a sense of place through arts and culture. 

Commissioned Artwork The commissioned artwork at MSP provides opportunities for the airport, artists and community to transform ordinary spaces into dynamic, meaningful places. The scope, composition and longevity of these works help to promote MSP’s sense of place by providing:

• Thought-provoking and memorable experiences for airport users

• Landmarks that help people navigate and orient themselves in the airport

• Meaningful ways for people to experience our culture, environment and history

• A venue with international exposure for regional artists

• A sense of community pride

Rotating Exhibits are placed in a variety of choice airport locations. The exhibits focus attention on Minnesota’s diversity and feature different styles, themes and types of media and are made possible through the generosity of regional arts organizations and artists.
