Carnegie International Travelers Will Be Welcomed by Airport Art Installations
Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) is preparing to welcome visitors to the 59th Carnegie International, titled “If the word we,” running from May 3, 2026, to January 3, 2027, at the Carnegie Museum of Art. The airport has expanded its Art in the Airport program with new permanent installations by regional artists, adding works at 30 locations throughout its campus. A centerpiece is Alexander Calder’s kinetic sculpture “Pittsburgh,” created for the 1958 Carnegie International and displayed at the airport since 1959. The airport’s arts and culture manager, Keny Marshall, emphasized selecting artists from within 150 miles of Pittsburgh to reflect the community’s voice, while CEO Christina Cassotis highlighted that the airport aims to make travelers feel at home or surprised by the city’s culture.
