Heading out of town for vacation instead? You can still experience the work of the Blue Sky Project; two works of art from the 2009 program have been installed in the Dayton Airport. Katherine Mann’s large-scale painting, “Byzantine,” fills a wall of the terminal, while Lisa Nonken’s paper airplane sculpture, “Dayton Flight, ” is suspended in mid-air near the gates.
