Concourse A

Artwork All Along a Traveler's Journey

Spectacular art greets and guides travelers as they traverse the new south terminal. As part of the expansion, the Port of Seattle added 14 works of public art by prominent regional and national artists. The artwork not only enhances the beauty of the new facility, but also serves a practical purpose as well. A stunning hand-painted wall glass, for example, helps guides passengers in the secure area of the ticketing level to the escalator to the transit level or to the Concourse A gates.

Here's a look at some of the breathtaking artworks:

"Voyager"	A replica of the Voyager, on loan from the Museum of Flight, hangs in the atrium area. The original Voyager was flown non-stop around the world by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yaeger in 1986.
Architectural mosaic columns	Nine artists designed the mosaic images for these architectural columns that begin at the entryway to the south checkpoint and flow into Concourse A. The designs were created by artists Juan Alonso, Rudy Autio, Marlene Bauer, Amy Cheng, Sam Gilliam, Peter de Lory, Joanne Hammer, Robert Yoder and Susan Zoccola. Stephen Miotto, of Miotto Mosaics, translated the designs into hand-cut glass and stone tessarae mosaics.
Contraption	At the first moving sidewalk is a motion activated, multi-media work created by Seattle artist Trimpin (pictured at right). It consists of two moving “contraptions” housed in an 80-foot long glass and metal structure with a roof of colorful shapes. The contraptions, which are made of found objects, move and produce sounds and rhythms as people pass by on the moving sidewalk.
"I Was Dreaming of Spirit Animals"	At the end of the Concourse at Gate A-14, Cappy Thompson's “Dreaming of Spirit Animals” fills the 90-foot-by-30-foot window wall with intense color, drama, and whimsy. The composition is comprised of 53 hand-painted, glass enamel and hand-blown art glass window units the artist fabricated at the Derix Glasstudio in Taunusstein, Germany.
"Traveling Light"	Linda Beaumont's “Traveling Light,” a glass wall installation comprised of 82 painted and silk-screened glass panels, features contemporary and historic photos of old-growth forests. The glass panels separate arriving and departing passengers on the ticketing level
