Art Display at Dulles Airport Features 'Signatures of Loudoun'

The airport exhibit features award-winning architectural and landscape designs in the county.

A new art exhibit opened at Dulles International Airport features “Signatures of Loudoun,” photographs of some of the county’s best architectural and landscape designs.

The Loudoun County Department of Economic Development, the Loudoun Design Cabinet and the Washington Metropolitan Airports Authority collaborated on the exhibit.

More than a dozen photographic panels provide a glimpse at highly regarded designs, including the RagingWire data center campus in Ashburn, the Morven Park Mansion in Leesburg and the Sunset Hills Vineyard in Purcellville. The panels display recent winners in the Signatures of Loudoun Design Excellence Awards program, which recognizes the links between Loudoun’s successful community and its high-quality architectural design efforts.

“At Dulles International Airport we recognize the positive affect art can have on the traveling public. Art is a wonderful mechanism that leads to an even more enjoyable experience for passengers at our airport,” Airport Manager Christopher Browne said in a prepared statement. “These photographic panels provide a great addition to our robust arts program, and are an essential part in creating a welcoming environment for travelers.” 

Loudoun Board of Supervisors Chairman Scott K. York (R) called the airport “Washington’s gateway to the nation.”
