The concourse also features three unique pieces of art you can enjoy while waiting for your flight.
“Twine with my Mingles” by Nashville-based artist Elizabeth Williams of New Hat Projects, a 180-foot-long piece that lines the moving walkway created by loom-style weaving custom-printed wristbands.
“A Thread Without End” by Los Angeles-based artist Benjamin Ball of Ball-Nogues Studios, comprised of 620 stainless steel spheres suspended in the concessions area between gates D7 and D8.
“Our Radiant City” by Nashville-based artist Brenda Stein encircles the center of the record node, featuring depictions of some of Nashville’s most recognizable buildings in shimmering terrazzo, acting as a focal point when passengers enter.
Designed by world-renowned architectural firms Hensel Phelps and Fentress Architects, the concourse has many windows and is a place to unwind.
