Cohen, like most of the artists, gets paid an honorarium. But she also has been able to sell pieces out of her Minnetonka studio to customers who got turned on to her talent on the way to their gate.
“It’s been good for business,” she said.
One of my favorite pieces from October was “The Voting Line,” Carol Hancuh’s display of life-size quilt figures ranging from Lyndon B. Johnson to a college student, all waiting to cast their ballot. That exhibit has rotated out, but current travelers have plenty of other options, including pieces celebrating Indigenous culture, fossils on loan from the Science Museum of Minnesota and seed art from the State Fair, spread out across both terminals.
There are play areas in both terminals (one is near the movie theater, the other is near Gate H6 in Terminal 2), each featuring pint-size versions of airplanes and air traffic control towers designed by Eagan’s Blue Rhino Studio. A few weeks ago, a kid was having a blast operating a toy fire truck.
The only thing missing was a dog in the back seat.
