Ride the “Art Train” at PHX
The free, automated PHX Sky Train® transports airport visitors and travelers between Valley Metro Rail, economy parking areas, airport terminals and the Rental Car Center. But did you know it also features 11 major works of art?
Phoenix Sky Harbor has a world-class art program. One can encounter this by riding the PHX Sky Train® and enjoying immersive artwork at every stop. From the 44th Street Station to the Rental Car Center, each PHX Sky Train® platform has artist-designed floors, glass murals or expansive art installations to experience. Each floor design was created by local artists who have translated their studio practice into durable works of art. From painters to bookmakers and weavers, these terrazzo floors reflect the diversity and range of Arizona artists. Each one-of-a-kind PHX Sky Train® platform is a testament to the beauty that can emerge when artists, engineers, architects and other planners come together to enhance our public spaces.
