BTV Airport: Project NexT
The Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (Leahy BTV), in partnership with Burlington City Arts (BCA), will soon issue an Open Call inviting artists and creative teams to submit portfolios and qualifications for a unique public art opportunity as part of the airport’s ongoing terminal renovation—Project NexT. This transformative initiative is the largest sustainable infrastructure development in the airport’s history and offers artists the chance to help shape the look and feel of Vermont’s primary travel hub.
Selected projects will design and fabricate architectural wall enhancements within one of three newly constructed spaces in the expanded terminal. Each space will be themed around one of Vermont’s iconic seasons and will reflect Leahy BTV’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, and exceptional passenger experience. The chosen artists will collaborate with the airport and design team to integrate their work seamlessly into the architectural landscape, with a focus on materials, aesthetics, and thematic interpretation. Final designs should speak to the airport’s unique location, scenic views, regional heritage, and diverse community.
Full details and submission instructions will be available soon. For more information, contact Colin Storrs at cstorrs@burlingtoncityarts.org.
Great Streets Initiative
The City of Burlington is commissioning a number of public artworks to be integrated into the renovation of Main Street and City Place. These renovations are the culmination of many years of planning and project development designed to make new investments in the downtown’s public infrastructure. The project is intended to ensure that Burlington residents have a downtown that is a vibrant, walkable, and sustainable urban center.
