AACG Dallas Trip May 16-20
The AACG’s very exciting 2012 member trip will be to Dallas, Texas, from Wednesday, May 16 to Sunday, May 20. Spaces are filling up quickly, and the registration deadline is April 1. To ensure your space on the trip, register today!
Glass lovers will enjoy every minute of our plans. The trip will begin Wednesday late afternoon with a reception (heavy on the appetizers), then on to the Dallas Arboretum to view the extensive outdoor Chihuly show on the Arboretum’s beautiful 60 acres. The show will be spectacular seen at night. Other activities planned are visits to some wonderful glass collections; visits to premiere contemporary art collections; museum visits that include the Nasher Sculpture Center (the Guggenheim in NY vied for the collection, but Dallas got this wonderful museum designed by Renzo Piano); Dallas Museum of Art; the Kimball Museum and Museum of Modern Art in Fort Worth; and the 6th Floor Museum that chronicles President John F. Kennedy’s life, death and legacy. We also will have a very special VIP tour of Cowboys Stadium where we will not only see the locker rooms, press booth, private suites and more, but also the stadium’s very extensive art collection. And ladies, we will be treated to a show of contemporary glass jewelry at our member gallery Kittrell-Riffkind. We will have some special dinners including one evening at Wolfgang Puck’s Five Sixty restaurant where you will be 560 feet high in a rotating restaurant with great 360 degree views; Lonesome Dove Western Bistro in the Fort Worth stockyards, owned by celebrity chef Tim Love, and equally yummy lunches. You will have one dinner on your own to choose from among Dallas finest restaurants, many within walking distance of our hotel or a short cab ride away.
