O'Hare and Midway International Airports have long served as a canvas for the City of Chicago's world-renowned arts programming, with an emphasis on local and global interests. Our airports often serve as the first and last impression of the city for the hundreds of thousands of air travelers that pass though each day. The Chicago Airport System's permanent works include the Edward (Butch) O'Hare Museum, and The Battle of Midway exhibit, each commemorating local WWII heroes.

In addition to its permanent art collection, the Chicago Airport System invites cultural institutions, non-for-profit arts organizations and artists to participate in a variety of exhibition opportunities available at the airports. With more than 200,000 passengers from around the world traveling through each day, O'Hare International Airport offers an exceptional opportunity for art to be viewed and enjoyed on a truly global scale. Midway International, the nation's premier point-to-point airport, provides an excellent environment for art to be exposed to more than 19 million travelers annually.

The Chicago Airport System welcomes the opportunity to bring fresh and exciting art exhibits to its airports. Please open the link below to learn more about exhibiting art at O'Hare and Midway International Airports.
