Dedication event of a 14,000-square-foot outdoor art installation at Indianapolis International Airport

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Airport Authority will host a special ceremony on Oct. 20 to dedicate a new 14,000-square-foot outdoor art installation titled Transitions at the Indianapolis International Airport.

The installation is the largest of its kind in the nation, made from more than 300,000 recyclable cups, and will serve as a visually appealing and artistic way to obscure construction activity associated with the new $198 million project to rebuild the airport’s runways.

The installation is the creative genius of local artist Jackie Head, who was selected by a panel of representatives from the Indy Arts Council and the IAA to execute the project. The art installation’s introduction marks a significant increase in the airport’s commitment to public art and local artists.

Those attending can arrive for the ceremony on October 20th at 9:45 a.m.

Officials from the Indianapolis Airport Authority Executive Director Mario Rodriquez, the Indy Arts Council President and CEO Julie Goodman, and artist Jackie Head will be in attendance.
