The Fort McMurray International Airport will launch its 2025 Digital Art Exhibit on April 4, featuring the work of three local artists in a showcase that highlights the connection between art, travel, and community.
This year’s theme, “The Art of Connection,” explores how artistic expression brings people together through the shared experience of travel. The digital exhibit will feature the work of Lisa Smith, Rienna Davey, and Hira Noor, whose pieces reflect personal journeys, relationships, and the way travel bridges differences to create moments of understanding across cultures.
“Our community thrives on connections, whether through art, culture, or the experiences we share,” said Denean Robinson, President and CEO of the Fort McMurray Airport Authority. “The YMM Digital Art Exhibit is more than just a digital showcase of incredible local talent, it enriches the passenger journey, creating a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere for travelers.”
The unveiling will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on Arrivals Level 1 of the airport. The evening will feature live acoustic music by local musician Chris Pottie and a selection of appetizers and desserts from YMM Earls Kitchen + Bar. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from the featured artists during a panel discussion and bid on exclusive artwork in a silent auction, with proceeds going to the Arts Council Wood Buffalo.
The Fort McMurray International Airport has been using its digital art exhibits as a way to showcase local talent while also enriching the travel experience. The initiative provides artists with a creative medium to reach a diverse audience while showcasing their creative work to a world-wide audience.
Tickets for the event are by donation, and can be reserved through Eventbrite. All proceeds from ticket sales and the silent auction will support the Arts Council Wood Buffalo
