Airport Art Project by Triangle Sister Cities

Renowned artist Jane Filer (www.janefiler.com) is concocting a colorful vision promoting Triangle Sister Cities, which will be hung in the new International Section (Terminal 2) of RDU airport by Fall 2010! 

The Triangle Area Sister Cities (TASC) are Durham, Cary, Raleigh, and Southern Pines--representing ourselves and 13 international sister cities. After obtaining permission from the RDU Airport Authority, we partnered with Cary Visual Art to solicit and judge numerous artists’ applications. After careful consideration we chose Jane Filer, an internationally-successful artist based in Chapel Hill! Each city has raised some funds to complete the project and a grant has been submitted to the North Carolina Arts Council. 

The RDU press release is here, with a link to a draft provided by the artist.

If you would like to get involved, please feel free to email us (see "Contacts Page"). This is our Triangle Region Sister Cities Airport Art Project (TRAAP), and our Project Manger is Ronnie Lilly of Sister Cities of Durham. Other vital leaders include Ricardo Perez (Ambassador at Large), Ginny Lou Laughlin (Cary), Bernd Soltzmann (Raleigh), and Richard Hill (Durham).  Additional team members include Dot Borden, Mavis Meyer, George Chapman and Clare Sifford (CVA). 

By the way, donations are welcomed! Any donation amount is appreciated...just send to Sister Cities of Durham, thank you!
