Art on the Horizon

As part of DFW International Airport terminal expansion project, the airport’s reimagined plan for public art at the Airport marks a transformative commitment to integrate about a dozen new artworks into redesigned Terminals C and E, and the new Terminal F from 2026 to 2030.

Thoughtfully placed throughout the terminals, each artwork will be selected based on its ability to inspire wonder and discovery, transforming the airport into a cultural hub. To ensure a rigorous selection process, an Airport Art Advisory Committee has been assembled, composed of recognized local arts professionals with diverse backgrounds and expertise from Dallas and Fort Worth. Their guidance will help ensure the highest artistic standards.
