A Celebration of Art, Aviation & Imagination

Prepare for takeoff!

Rose City Art Gallery & Gifts invites artists to participate in Art In Flight 2026, an exciting exhibition and sale presented in conjunction with the 6th Annual Rose City Airfest and Tyler’s Weekend of Flight.

This unique exhibition brings together the excitement of aviation and the creative vision of artists. We invite you to explore the many interpretations of flight—from aircraft and aviation history to movement, freedom, adventure, dreams, journeys, and the limitless power of imagination.

Whether your inspiration comes from the sky, the stories of those who have taken flight, or the feeling of freedom and possibility that flight represents, this is your opportunity to take your art to new heights.

From vintage aircraft and soaring skies to birds, bees, butterflies, insects, kites, balloons, rockets, and anything else that takes to the air—Art In Flight invites you to explore flight in all its forms. Let your imagination take wing.
