| DFW is proud to showcase
two temporary exhibits at the Airport terminals through January.
The Airport is pleased to welcome the Fort Worth longhorn and
Dallas Pegasus to DFW terminals for the enjoyment of DFW guests
and the local community.
The longhorns located in DFW's terminals, currently at the
public side of Terminal B near Gate B20 and Terminal C near
Gate C2, are part of Fort Worth's BulLovArts program, a public
art extravaganza featuring "un-believe-a-bull" herds
and strays of fiberglass, Texas-size longhorns that have been
creatively transformed into fun works of art.
Fort Worth artist Johnny Pate created the original sculpture
that was made into a mold from which numerous fiberglass longhorns
are cast. Artists individualize these fiberglass forms transforming
them into whimsical bovine. The Texas longhorn was selected
for this program because it exemplifies America's courage
and stamina and has made a tremendous impact on the culture,
economy and history of Fort Worth, of Texas and of the nation.
The Pegasus is part of the Dallas Soars! program, an exciting
public art exhibition and cultural tourism initiative that
promotes the City of Dallas and fills its streets with expressions
of a city that "soars." It is currently located
at the public side of DFW's Terminal B near Gate B20, but
will be traveling to DFW's other terminals in the near future.
Dallas Soars! is a public-private partnership that connects
the city's business community with the community of artists.
An individual, local business or civic organization may support
the Dallas Soars! project by purchasing a Pegasus that is
then transformed into a work of art by local artists. The
result is a public art exhibition of 200 unique sculptures
throughout Dallas. Eventually the Pegasus collection will
be sold in a charity auction benefiting the Dallas Adopt-A-Monument
public art preservation program and ArtPartners, a collaborative
program of the City of Dallas Young Audiences of Dallas and
Dallas Public Schools bringing arts-in-education to the children
of the city.
DFW's Pegasus was donated to the Airport for exhibition by
its artist, Martha Rehders, and Fred Rehders, both proprietors
of Pegasus Screen Printing. The Pegasus public art exhibition
will run through February 1, 2002.
DFW is pleased to welcome these sensational works of art
to its terminals for the viewing eye of the traveling public.
Be sure to stop by and take a look at these magnificent creatures
the next time you travel through DFW!
This temporary art exhibit was part of the Holiday Helper
program at DFW to enhance the travel experiences of our guests
during the holiday season. DFW currently is planning a structured
Public Art Program for the new international Terminal D. Please
