What’s Better Than a New Outdoor Mural? Two!

Local artist Victor Navarro unveiled the newest addition to the Tucson International Airport (TUS) art collection in May, “Tucson Reverie: A Vivid Tribute.” This vibrant outdoor mural has quickly become a fan favorite, with locals and visitors alike posing for a TUS selfie in front of this dazzling new art. Navarro is now working on his second outdoor mural adjacent to the TUS Rental Car Facility.

TUS takes pride in showcasing local artists, Navarro was first showcased at TUS during our rotating art exhibit in 2023, where travelers fell in love with his eclectic and striking art.

The new mural will be unveiled in our August e-News.
