Houston Airports Celebrate Rodeo Houston with Art in the Terminals
January 16, 2020

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ is Houston’s premier event—drawing in more than 2.5 million people in 2019 — and the Houston Airport System is taking part in the celebration.

Every year, the Houston Airports Rangers participate in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Downtown Rodeo Parade.  

Houston Airports are also bringing the rodeo to passengers traveling through the airports.  The airport system is again working with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo to give passengers a first-class peek into one of the world’s largest livestock exhibitions from some of Houston’s most promising young artists. From now through the end of March, Houston Airports will display almost 200 works of art from past winners, pre-K through 12th- grade students, of the Show’s School Art Program showcasing the culture, history and heritage of Texas.

Also on display throughout both airports are one-of-a-kind items, rodeo gear, a covered chuck wagon at the new international concourse at William P. Hobby Airport, a giant-sized cowboy boot at George Bush Intercontinental Airport and more.

Each year, about 300,000 students from Houston-area schools participate in the contest that awards 15 four-year, $18,000 School Art Scholarships to graduating seniors. To date, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has committed more than $430 million to the youth of Texas.
