Nashville International Airport (BNA) has launched the fall/winter edition of its Flying Solo exhibit, featuring works by six Nashville-based artists: Omari Booker, Tamla Boone, Chalet Comellas, Heather Hillhouse, Brian Tull, and Taylor Walton. The exhibit, on display through January 5, 2026, includes oil paintings, acrylics, and ceramic sculptures placed throughout the airport terminals. The show is part of BNA's Arts at the Airport program, established in 1988, which rotates seasonal exhibits to showcase local creative talent.
This exhibit matters because it brings contemporary visual art directly into a high-traffic public space, offering travelers an accessible introduction to Nashville's vibrant arts scene. By featuring local artists in a rotating format, the program supports community visibility and cultural tourism, reinforcing the airport's role as a gateway to the city's creative identity. It also highlights how airports can serve as unconventional but effective venues for public art engagement.
