We'll also visit the construction site of the Frederick C. Hamilton building of the Denver Art Museum.  The 146,000 square-foot facility, designed by the architect Daniel Libeskind, will double the size of the Denver Art Museum and will be the first Libeskind-designed building to be completed in the United States (2006).  We'll be given a brief tour and get free admission to the museum.  For more information, go to http://www.denverartmuseum.org/ and click on "Expansion Info."

Evening activities include a reception at Dixon's, an art walk, and dinner at Tom Riedel's home.

The conference will take place at the historic Oxford Hotel at 1600 17th Street.  Just across the street from the Union Train Station, the Oxford is centrally located in the heart of Denver's historic district, LoDo, and is a 35-minute drive from Denver International Airport.  Art galleries, restaurants, and shops are all within a short walk from the hotel.  The Oxford Hotel was voted one of the 50 best hotels in the world by Hemispheres Magazine.  Rooms have been reserved for the nights of Sept. 30, October 1, and October 2.
