3. The Strategic Goal of the Civic Art Program
As the region’s most significant global gateway,
the Houston Airport System and its Civic Art
Program must have the strategic goal of
enhancing the quality of life and visitor

acquiring, placing and methodically
maintaining high quality artistic renderings
throughout our airport facilities.
