The C Concourse Expansion at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) offers more than added space — it provides moments of calm, connection, and creativity while weaving in natural light, Pacific Northwest materials, sustainability, and expansive views. World-class art installations through the Port of Seattle Public Art Program help connect the space to the landscapes, cultures, and stories of the region.
Learn more about the artists and pieces that reflect the culture of the Pacific Northwest and draw connections to the region and world.
Glass art residency collaboration
SEA partnered with two iconic local Pacific Northwest cultural institutions — Pilchuck Glass School and the Museum of Glass — to bring two major glass installations to life through a first of its kind residency program. Two selected artists explored concepts at Pilchuck and produced final works at the Museum of Glass, now on display in the newly expanded C Concourse.
Fumi Amano, “Shared Breath”
Location: Level 3, near the Lookout at C
Don’t miss this lush, layered glass sculpture by Seattle artist Fumi Amano when you head up to the Lookout at C for fresh air and airfield views. Standing seven feet tall and inspired by the moss-rich landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, “Shared Breath” is made from stacked green glass panels affixed to a steel base. Its quiet, reflective energy provides a moment of stillness before or after a flight.
