• If you find something for sale in the gallery you just can’t live without, it’s easy to make a purchase, and you can pick up your treasure or have it shipped to you as soon as the exhibit ends. Contact art@flyavl.com for more information.

• We welcome artwork of all kinds. We do not place any limits on size, medium or subject of artwork; rather, we allow all kinds to be submitted for review by our Art Advisory Committee. At that time, the Committee determines which pieces are appropriate for display in and around the airport.

• Yes! We welcome artists of all kinds to apply, regardless of whether you’ve had previous shows.

• No. We welcome artists of all ages.  

• No. Art in the Airport exists to support local artists and we don’t charge any fees to apply or to show your work. If you sell a piece through the gallery, we do retain a 20% commission.

• At this time, we are only accepting individual applications. You may wish to provide information about Art in the Airport to your group and encourage your members to apply individually.

• We have an Art Advisory Committee that is made up of local arts professionals. They judge each piece on a number of criteria. This information is converted to a score for each piece and the pieces with the highest scores are selected for display.

• Depending on how small or large the highest-rated pieces are, we typically have room for 25 – 45 pieces.

• It really depends on how many applicants we have for the upcoming show. However, it also depends on the strength of your work and our committee’s review of your art.

• Exhibits last approximately four months.

• Yes, as long as you submit a new collection of artwork — you may not submit any of the pieces you submitted previously.

Yes. However, there are some restrictions. An artist may only be selected once per our fiscal year (July 1 – June 30). Please email art@flyavl.com if you have questions about your eligibility.

• Yes. We use security locks on hanging artwork and use custom-built locking pedestals for any sculptures displayed outside of the gallery in other areas of the airport terminal. We also carry an insurance policy that covers all artwork on display.

• Yes. Each piece of artwork will have a small placard next to it indicating the name, medium, and price of the piece, as well as the artist’s name.

• No — we will provide a brochure, postcard, and a small placard for each piece of artwork. There is no charge to be in the brochure or postcard. No other promotional materials are permitted.

• Not at this time. However we have received this request many times and are considering possible ways of including this information.

• Yes. If one of your pieces sells, we take only a 20% commission. Artwork that has sold will remain on display through the end of the exhibit. At that time, if the piece needs to be shipped, the artist is responsible for packaging the piece at the exhibit closing and we will ship it to the buyer at the buyer’s expense.

• Our How to Apply & How to Buy brochure is available in the gallery, as well as a telephone that prospective buyers can use to get more information about purchasing a piece. We also post the brochure on our website.

• That’s fine. Just indicate on your application that the piece is not for sale and we will indicate this on the placard next to your artwork.

• At least four (4) and no more than ten (10).

• We suggest you take some time to build your body of work and submit when you have a minimum of four pieces available — perhaps the next exhibit.

• We only accept original pieces at this time. (Exceptions: Photographs; Photographs printed on canvas; Prints as part of a collage or compilation where you have made significant changes to it.)

• No. Simply submit photos of your artwork either through the Interactive Online Application, or on a CD or DVD, or via e-mail: art@flyavl.com.

• You may hand-deliver, mail, or e-mail your packet.
• To hand-deliver: Park in short-term parking at the airport and enter the terminal. Turn to the right and go to the end of the ticket counters. Take the elevator to the Airport Authority offices on the second floor and give your packet to the receptionist. Authority offices are open 8:30am – 12:00pm and 1:00pm – 5:00pm Monday through Friday, except holidays.
