Artport Archives

Sponsored by the South Jersey Transportation Authority, which owns and operates the Atlantic City International Airport, Artport showcases the work of New Jersey’s most talented fine artists for the enjoyment of the traveling public.

Artport was developed in collaboration with area photographer Donna Connor as part of the airport’s effort to reach out to the local community and to provide a fresh and innovative venue for artists to display their work.

Under the auspices of the Artport program, Atlantic City International Airport will continually host art exhibits in the terminal building even as the airport continues to renovate and expand.
