The Rochester International Airport seeks to provide exceptional Customer-First service by creating a unique traveling experience. This is accomplished by caring for each and every customer by providing an enhanced sense of place and connection. The Greater Rochester Arts and Cultural Trust enriches the greater Rochester community by ensuring the continued celebration, promotion and advocacy of the arts and humanities. These two entities are partnering to combine their goals in a new program called “Arts Elevated at RST”. The Arts Elevated program is an opportunity to provide an enhanced airport experience, lift spirits and provide comfort and care to customers through the dynamic showcasing of MN artists. The showcasing of MN artists will undoubtedly contribute to the Arts Elevated mission of enhancing sense of place and connection to the local community through a visual experience.
The Rochester International Airport (RST) is owned by the City of Rochester and operated by the Rochester Airport Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mayo Clinic. The Rochester International Airport is served daily by United Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Airlines, which collectively offer 13 flights each day to Atlanta, Chicago and Minneapolis. RST accommodates over 370,000 passengers annually, providing air service to SE MN and border regions of Iowa and Wisconsin.
Arts Elevated will showcase MN artists within the main terminal.
Artwork will be available for purchase with a commission paid to the Rochester International Airport to support the Arts Elevated program.
