Sculptures grace E Concourse exhibit case

Bonnie Ferraro, customer relations specialist with the Port of Portland, admires new art exhibit at PDX.

Twelve regional sculptors are showing their works now at PDX. The exhibit is located just beyond the security checkpoint near Coffee People in the lobby at the E Concourse. The pieces are crafted in a variety of media – cast and fabricated metals, ceramic, stone and mixed media; they represent a broad spectrum of sculptural styles.

The Regional Arts & Culture Council and Pacific Northwest Sculptors brought the exhibit to PDX. The council presents exhibitions at the airport every six months to pique the curiosity of visitors and residents and promote further exploration of our region. Pacific Northwest Sculptors fosters the talent of local artists and hosts educational programs and exhibitions in the community.

The exhibit runs through mid-June.
