Leininger’s work selected for new ‘Arts in the Airport’ exhibition
The Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority (McGhee Tyson Airport) and the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville are pleased to present "Arts in the Airport," a new exhibition featuring selected artwork from 31 artists in Tennessee and Georgia. "Arts in the Airport" was developed in the spring of 2009 to allow regional artists to compete and display work in the most visited site in the area. The selected art features contemporary 2-dimensional artwork and will be exhibited in the secured area behind McGhee Tyson Airport’s security gate checkpoint through April 22, 2010.
Joan Leininger of Crossville is among those artists featured in the exhibit.
"I was struck by the number of outstanding photographic works, some created using traditional film and others using digital photography," says juror Stephen Wicks, Curator of the Knoxville Museum of Art. "I was also pleased to see many artists exploring new combinations of media and transforming the two-dimensional face of their work into an active sculptural surface... the striking images in this show offer up deeper layers of meaning to the careful observer."
"This new Arts in the Airport exhibition is an opportunity to both entertain and enlighten passengers as they enter and exit East Tennessee," said Kirk Huddleston, Chairman of the MKAA Board of Commissioners. "The region's talented artists serve as a reflection of our culture and heritage."
