SACRAMENTO, CA.- Twelve major public artworks are premiering in Sacramento with the opening of the new Terminal B at the Sacramento International Airport. The first commercial flight embarked from the new Terminal on October 6th. Airport passengers from everywhere are now able to view the collection, and the general public is invited to attend guided tours that will run through the end of 2011. The Terminal is the largest construction project in the history of Sacramento County, and the artworks there represent the largest public art project in the history of the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission. These public artworks, shepherded by the Commission’s Art in Public Places program, are both an integral component and featured attraction of the new Terminal. Each of the 12 artworks activates and responds to the larger environment of the Terminal—conceptually and architecturally. They range in scale, form and materials from a 56-foot sculpture of a red rabbit suspende
