Hilton Head Island Airport Seeks Artwork for New Terminal Glass Wall Installation

The Hilton Head Island Airport is inviting artists to submit entries for a significant glass wall installation in its new terminal. This initiative aims to enhance the travel experience for visitors while showcasing the island’s unique character through art.

The selected piece will be displayed in a busy area of the terminal, ensuring that it captures the attention of travelers arriving on the island. The installation, designed to be both inviting and reflective of Hilton Head Island’s charm, will depict the natural beauty, rich culture, and vibrant community that the island is known for.

Artists interested in participating must note that the wall designated for this artwork measures approximately 16 feet tall and 28 feet wide. The artwork must be able to be reproduced at this scale, and artists will need to provide a vector file for the selected work to facilitate its digital reproduction.

Submissions can include any medium capable of digital reproduction for vinyl application, including digital art. The final artwork will span 29 feet wide and 11 feet tall across 16 glass panels, creating an impactful visual presentation.

Submission Guidelines

Artists are permitted to submit up to four entries. Each submission must clearly represent Hilton Head Island’s character, culture, and community. The required information accompanying each entry includes:

• Artist’s name, email, phone number, and place of residence
• At least one image of the artwork
• Title of the work, location depicted (if applicable), and a brief description that includes the medium, date created, and inspiration for the piece

Selection Process

A selection committee consisting of representatives from the airport, local government, art professionals, and community members will review all submissions. This committee will assess the artwork based on its visual appeal from both a distance and a close-up view, ensuring that it resonates with the visitors and enhances the airport’s atmosphere.

The integration of art not only beautifies the space but also serves to celebrate local culture and inspire community pride.
