This gallery is located on the Departure Level opposite Gates 1 through 4 in the North Concourse and 18 through 21 in the South Concourse. 

O.C.: DESTINATION AND CULTURE

This exhibit space is located in a walkway connecting Terminal B to Terminal C. Eleven wall-mounted cases line the curving corridor, which is glassed in on one side. The space is set aside specifically to promote Orange County as a destination for the arts and culture.

COMMUNITY FOCUS SPACE PROGRAM

The Community Focus Space Program features exhibitions by Orange County artists, local community organizations and artists with Orange County ties. This year-round community art space changes approximately every six weeks. Art cases are located in the following areas: Terminal A, Departure (upper) Level, near the security screening entrance and on the Arrival (lower) Level near Baggage Carousel 1. Terminal B, Departure (upper) Level, near the security screening entrance and on the Arrival (lower) Level near Baggage Carousel 4.

ANNUAL STUDENT ART CONTEST AND EXHIBITION

John Wayne Airport organizes an annual art contest by engaging schools in the community and local artists to submit artwork that will be considered for public display in areas of Terminals A and B, where passengers line up to pass through the security checkpoints or as they pick up their bags off the carousels after their plane lands.
