To Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks and the members of the Monroe County Legislature: Art nourishes the soul. And public art nourishes the community. In Rochester, the arts are an integral part of community life and an integral part of our economy. And public art helps the community express who we are, to ourselves and to our visitors. For more than 10 years, public art at the airport has introduced visitors to some of the best that Greater Rochester has to offer. That art should remain on display at the airport --- in visible, accessible locations, as its creators and donors intended. We the undersigned request that you reconsider saving the art at the Rochester airport:

It makes the terminal feel like a real community hub instead of just a cold grey hallway. Keep the art where it belongs.

Really sad to see this happen. It was a nice welcome home for everyone flying into ROC.

The airport looks so empty without those pieces. It was actually nice to walk through there for once. Put it back.

Why do they always take away the stuff that actually makes this city look halfway decent? So tired of the budget cuts hitting the good stuff.

Rochester has such a great arts scene and the airport was the best place to show it off. Really disappointed in this decision.
