A&D Fort Worth Architecture Trip

Art and Design students accompanied Ronnie Rama to Fort Worth to check out some architecture at the Amon Carter Museum, Kimbell Museum,  saw the exterior to the new addition to the Kimbell and the Modern Museum, and they sang songs at the Serra sculpture. They then had lunch on the grounds of the botanical garden, followed by exploring the beautiful water gardens of downtown Fort Worth. Then they ended the event by crashing a wedding at the Marty Lenard Community Chapel designed by Faye Jones.  Overall it was a fantastic day full of beautiful architecture and great company!
