Charlotte Douglas International Airport's Art Program, Just Plane Art, includes over 20 permanent and rotating exhibits.

Just Plane Art helps promote Charlotte and the surrounding regions. It also helps to improve and enhance the passengers experience at the airport while giving them a memorable sense of place.  One of the airport's most memorable features is the rocking chairs.  The rockers originally evolved from, Porchsitting, A Charlotte Regional Family Album, a 1997 exhibit of digital monoprints by Jamie Franki.

A 15-foot-high bronze sculpture of Queen Charlotte can be found in the airport's Queen's Courtyard, located in front of the terminal.  The sculpture, dedicated in 1990, is the centerpiece of the large plaza featuring a 40-foot reflecting pool.
