Newest Immersive Art Exhibit At FLL Airport Highlights Female Artists

The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) unveiled its latest exhibition, “NOTICE,” by artist Lori Pratico, in partnership with the Broward Cultural Division. Located in Terminal 1, Pratico’s installation is an immersive art experience that challenges viewers to reconsider the representation and valuation of female artists throughout history and today.

“This visual display serves not only as a tribute but also as a commentary on how female artists have historically been overlooked and underrepresented in the art world,” said Pratico. “This imagery symbolizes the risk of these artists fading from our collective memory if their contributions are not recognized, celebrated, and recorded in history.”

Pratico’s FLL exhibit features portraits of female artists hanging from the ceiling, and over 100 of their names cover the walls and floor.

“So many women have helped change the aviation industry for the better, and the same goes for the art world,” said Mark Gale, FLL CEO/Director of Aviation. “It’s important to highlight women artists who have made lasting impacts and continue celebrating their accomplishments to motivate the next generation.”

The post-security exhibition in Terminal 1, Concourse C (T1C), will be displayed through July. Approximately 8,500 passengers travel through this concourse daily. The T1C gallery opened in August 2023 as a temporary space dedicated to immersive art experiences that are engaging and inviting for airport visitors. “NOTICE” will be the final of four exhibitions shown in this space due to the start of construction for FLL’s Terminal Connectors project.

Pratico is a nationally recognized artist with over 100 murals in 16 states and solo exhibits in Florida and Virginia. Her art has been featured in magazines like Marie Claire, Juxtapoz, Professional Artist, and International Artist. Notably, the Salvation Army selected her artwork to commemorate their 100th anniversary in 2022, according to her biography.
