| Abstract: | Every airport that aspires to high ratings must offer an engaging arts program because these are offered by all of the world's most highly rated airports. It is also now generally accepted that airport arts programs yield many additional benefits for airports, passengers, and the communities in which airports are located. Airport arts programs have become an amenity that airport passengers now expect, and they serve to tether an airport to its local community. The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP Synthesis 114: Visual Arts Programs at Airports is an initial compilation of practices that airport arts professionals use for understanding the operations, management, and benefits of temporary visual arts programs at their airports. Supplemental materials to the report include arts program case examples, arts program passenger surveys, and questions used for arts program manager interviews. |
