In one of the largest Kansas City public art commissions, alum Hong Chun Zhang (M.F.A., ‘04) was selected to create artwork for the Kansas City International Airport New Terminal. Zhang is one of nineteen local artists chosen to add public art to the city’s new airport terminal and garage.  Kansas City’s One Percent for Art is funding the commissions.  

Zhang competed with 188 artists to contribute to the comissioned project at the New Terminal Concourses.
