Arts & Culture

Working with artists to create a meaningful and beautiful space is part of Pittsburgh International Airport’s (PIT’s) heritage. PIT was one of the first airports in the United States to commission artists to work alongside architects and engineers to design functional parts of the facility in the early 1990s. That tradition continues with the transformed PIT, which opened in late 2025. The terrazzo floor, the walls of the roadways and bridges, the glass entryways for each restroom, the sounds on the escalators and the sculptures throughout baggage claim and the airport’s landscaped areas were all designed by local and national artists. Explore this site to learn more about how the artwork commissioned for the transformed PIT focuses on reflecting and providing distinct perspectives on the Pittsburgh region.
