Congratulations, Leah Douglas, for 20 years of @PHLAirportArt! A video visit

By December 18, 2018
In this post, we present a wonderful short video made by the talented video maker (and Artblog contributor) Ron Kanter that celebrates the Art at the Airport program, spearheaded by the great curator, Leah Douglas. Leah's focus for the 20 years she's headed the Art at the Airport program has been on local art, bringing the riches of the Philadelphia art scene to the thousands of daily travelers (30 million annual travelers!) into and out of PHL International. Congratulations, Leah on your wonderful 20 years of curating Art at the Airport! Here's to 20 more years and beyond! The video was made in Fall, 2018; the running time is 3 and a half minutes.
