DALLAS FIELD TRIP I could not get a "B" Friday for our trip, nor could I get the new bus. The only Friday that I could schedule is November 3. I hope everyone can make arrangements for this date. We will have the opportunity to get three exhibits for your museum critiques. One will be the Meadows Museum, and the other two are at the Dallas Museum of Art. You can use the special exhibit on Mexican Artists for one, and the permanent collection for the other one. The special exhibit on Mexican Artists is a "traveling exhibit" and it will cost $8 for students. This includes an audio-taped tour guide, I believe. Be sure and take your student ID. The Dallas Museum of Art has a very nice gift shop where you can buy posters and postcards of many of the paintings in their permanent collection.I will leave from the north parking lot of the CC Building at 6:30 a.m. We stop in Ardmore at the Burger King for breakfast. We will visit the Meadows Museum first, arriving there around 10:00. We will stay there about an hour before going downtown to eat in the West End. There are many different restaurants there with varied prices. We should get to the Dallas Museum of Art around 1:00 and stay until 3:30. We will stop in Gainesville at the Outlet Mall for drinks, food (yummy cinammon rolls) and shopping, leaving for home around 6:00. This should put us back in the parking lot around 8:00 p.m. Since you are required to visit three museums this semester, you should make every effort to go on this field trip and get all of them out of the way! This should give you plenty of time to make any arrangements to go. I will be taking down names in a couple of weeks. If you need a letter for any classes you have on an "A" week, let me know. This is an "approved" field trip sponsored by the college.
