CV/Arts + YQQ Public Arts & Culture: Mindful Travel at Comox Valley Airport

The Comox Valley Airport Commission is proud to sponsor the CV/Arts + YQQ Public Arts and Culture Program 2022-23, one of two annual shows of adjudicated work on public display at the terminal.

"Mindful Travel showcases artworks in a variety of media from artists across the region," says Jennifer Casey Executive Director of CV/Arts. "We are thrilled to continue the longstanding partnership between Comox Valley Arts and the Comox Valley Airport Commission and are delighted to promote the illustrious breadth of local artists here in the Comox Valley."

"We live in one of the most beautiful regions of the world but are reminded of its fragility and our responsibility for stewardship", says Comox Valley Airport's CEO, Mike Atkins. "Global tourism has great economic benefits but comes with the duty to manage it responsibly and sustainably. The team at CV/Arts has done a wonderful job in curating this collection, echoing sentiments attributed to Chief Seattle over one hundred years ago - Take nothing but memories, leave only footprints, through modern artist's eyes."

The exhibit runs until mid-April. Most works are available for sale by contacting CV/Arts or via the artist directly.
