Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport plans to continue to celebrate local arts and culture in 2026, recently announcing its lineup of programming for its Culture Corner and Traveling Tunes programs.

Launched in 2025 as part of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport’s 90th anniversary celebration, the Culture Corner has been well-received by travelers and employees. Located post-security in Terminal 3, the Culture Corner features monthly programming showcasing the rich diversity, creativity and cultural heritage of Arizona. The program brings community organizations, performers, and educators directly to travelers, transforming the airport into a welcoming gateway to the region. In 2025, organizations such as the Phoenix Sister Cities Taipei Committee, Musical Instrument Museum, Phoenix Zoo, Arizona Heritage Foundation and S’edav Va’aki Museum, among others offered programming to travelers and employees.

“Our goal is to elevate the passenger experience,” stated Aviation Director Chad Makovsky in a news release. “Family-friendly programs like the Culture Corner, Traveling Tunes and our airport art program, give us an opportunity to create memorable moments for travelers and employees alike.”

In 2026, the Culture Corner will feature a lineup of local partners and cultural institutions, including Ballet Arizona, the Great Arizona Puppet Theatre, the Phoenix Public Library, the Heard Museum, the Phoenix Zoo and the Valle Del Sol Folklórico Club, among many others. Programming is subject to change.

Monthly programming will highlight everything from dance and storytelling to science, history and hands-on cultural demonstrations.

Complementing the Culture Corner, Phoenix Sky Harbor’s Traveling Tunes program will continue to provide live music performances four times each month. Performances are offered twice a month in both Terminal 3 and Terminal 4. Travelers can enjoy a wide range of musical styles from Easy Listening and R&B/Soul to Country, Soft Rock, Full Acoustic, and Percussions with artists such as Juan Felix, Ellis Green, Clydene Balke, Gal Drimmer, Timothy O’Brien and more.

Additionally, the Airport Museum Program, one of the largest airport art programs in the country, also offers a look at Arizona artists and culture. Visitors will find artwork and exhibitions displayed throughout the airport, including in the pre-security Terminal 4 Gallery, the post-security Terminal 3 Gallery, exhibition cases throughout both terminals, and at the Rental Car Center. One of the newest exhibitions called “Spectral Alchemy” is on display in the Terminal 4 Gallery. This exhibition showcases 15 diverse local artists who use mediums like neon, spray paint or digital animal to explore the fascinating spirit of light. In April, the Phoenix Airport Museum will be opening a new music-themed exhibition highlighting notable musicians and bands that have emerged from Arizona. Stay tuned for more on “Sounds Like Arizona.”

“Phoenix Sky Harbor’s Airport Museum brings our region’s art and heritage to life with distinctive, one of a kind exhibitions,” stated Airport Museum Manager Haley Hinds in the news release.
