The art of Cook Islands Contemporary Artists Eruera Nia and Tim Buchanan are featured at the new International Terminal, Rarotonga Airport. 36 of Nia's concrete casts are positioned throughout the terminal while Buchanan's 10 metre mural farewell's passengers as they are processed through customs and security. Late in 2010, two of Nia's sculptures were aquired for the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Australia. Buchanan will exhibit with BCA in 2011.
