HIGHLIGHTS
FORT WORTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE
October 21-25, 2003

Conference participants tour the interior of the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall. It is the permanent home to major performing arts organizations of Fort Worth and is a premier venue for the cultural life of Fort Worth and the region.

A reception under the trees was held at the Kimbell Art Museum, after an afternoon exploring the galleries in the Fort Worth Cultural District, including the Amon Carter Museum, the Modern Art Museum and the Kimbell. All are regarded as some of the finest museum facilities in the world.

Santiago Calatrava’s sculpture titled The Wave graces the exterior of the Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University. Attendees enjoyed a guided tour of the museum and a reception and dinner hosted by Dean Carole Brandt and the Meadows School of the Arts.

The Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center is home to the world-class Dallas Symphony Orchestra and other Dallas-based cultural organizations. The first impression one has of this facility is the open space and the touches of elegance that are evident everywhere. ICFAD members listen to a Center docent describe Ellsworth Kelly’s Dallas Panels displayed on the far wall.

University of North Texas’ award-winning One O’Clock Lab Band provided the entertainment for the closing banquet of the annual conference. It was a most enjoyable ending to a great week, courtesy of Dean Jim Scott and band director, Neil Slater.
