"Seven major artists will transform JFK's new $9.5 billion terminal into a soaring showcase of New York creativity. The journey through JFK's new Terminal One will be more gallery walk than security slog. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and New Terminal One just unveiled an ambitious public art and cultural program that turns the $9.5 billion international terminal, set to open in phases beginning 2026, into a full-on love letter to New York."
"Seven internationally recognized artists have been tapped to create monumental, site-specific installations that reflect the city's history, diversity and energy. Think giant batik kites by Yinka Shonibare CBE RA floating above travelers, a massive bronze hand sprouting native flowers by Kelly Akashi and a whimsical lineup of watches and payphones from Woody De Othello perched atop baggage carousels, a cheeky nod to "the city that never sleeps.""
