Concert, Exhibits Celebrate Rocking Chairs
Officials at St. Louis International Airport/Lambert Field tell
ANN the Midwestern airport was "rockin' on Friday, for the first
anniversary of the "Music Spot" performance stage with more music
and a fun addition to Lambert's eclectic art scene.
Lambert unveiled a one-of-a kind art piece by local artist Rich
Brooks called "Saint Louis Rocks." It's now on display at the
"Music Spot" just above the C/D checkpoint in the Main
Terminal.
Brooks transformed one of Lambert's popular rocking chairs into
a fun and quirky tribute to music that features a guitar back and a
seat that features hands working the piano keys. Real piano foot
pedals are also incorporated into the design that features airplane
wings and the St. Louis Arch.
The event also marks the success of "Lambert Rocks" which made
its debut in the fall of 2007 when the airport gave passengers a
new seating option with 70 new rocking chairs. Because of popular
demand -- officials say it's often hard to find a vacant rocking
chair -- Lambert has added another 60 of the blue rocking chairs
(for a total of 130) to airline gate seating areas throughout the
airport.
The "Music Spot" and "Lambert Rocks" are both components of the
Lambert Advantage program, which focuses on adding new and improved
services and amenities throughout the airport.
STL is the 30th busiest airport in the US, as ranked by Airports
Council International-North America. Lambert serves more than 15
million passengers a year with more than 330 daily departures to 72
national and international destinations.
