Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB) is calling on local artists, museums, and organizations to showcase patriotic artwork and artifacts in its 3rd annual exhibition celebrating America’s 250th birthday.
Themed “Patriotic | Historic | Americana,” the exhibition will feature pieces highlighting American history, heritage, and culture. Thousands of travelers pass through GRB each week, offering artists a unique platform to share meaningful works with a broad audience.
“We want our terminal spaces to be welcoming and enriching,” said Airport Director Marty Piette. “Through partnerships with local museums and individuals, we can celebrate the nation’s milestone anniversary while highlighting the region’s creative talent.”
All museums, individuals, and membership organizations are encouraged to apply, with special consideration for submissions from Northeast Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Accepted works include framed photography, artwork, 3-D objects, wall hangings, and clothing. Participants may submit up to four pieces, which will be reviewed by a selection panel.
Displays are forecasted to be installed in May of this year, just in time for the airport’s Honor Flight for Veterans planned for June. The displays will showcase the stories and artifacts that connect us to our shared history.
The deadline for submission is March 31. If interested, email photos and documentation to susan.levitte@flygrb.com with the subject line “250.” Full submission rules or for more information, please visit the GRB website.
