Art @ PDX
The Art Program at Portland International Airport provides a portal into the dynamic cultural life of our region. The Port of Portland, which owns and operates PDX, maintains a rotating exhibits program throughout the airport terminal. The program offers nine changing exhibits featuring the work of our region’s finest artists. The Port headquarters also boasts a robust permanent art collection.
Music @ PDX
PDX’s music program works to create a relaxing, pleasing and stress-free environment for travelers through the use of live music. Every day, volunteer musicians perform in the terminal and help enhance the passenger experience through personal interactions with travelers. These local musicians volunteer their time, offering travelers an eclectic mix of live music representing some of the best in local jazz, classical and contemporary styles and approaches.
