Thanks to a collaboration between Phoenix Airport Museum and the Friends of Mexican Art (FOMA), there are some 60 pieces of art for you to enjoy while you’re waiting to board that plane.

“Friends of Mexican Art celebrate 50 Years of Collecting and Giving” features paintings, sculptures and prints from such famous Mexican artists such Jose Clemente Orozco, Rufino Tamayo, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Francisco Zuniga. All of the works came from FOMA members’ private collections or were donated to the Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona State University Art Museum, or Heard Museum.

The exhibition can be found in the Terminal 4 Gallery on level three at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, 3400 East Sky Harbor Boulevard, and is on display until February 23, 2014. Two additional display cases on level two will be on display until March 16, 2014. Admission is free. For more information, call 602-673-5355 or www.visitskyharbor.com/Museum/ExhibitionsTerminal4.html.
