Description

In each of four separate Arts District venues – different from the Focus Forum venues – approximately 25 participants will gather with each Festival team to continue the discussions of Focus Forums. These are true seminar sessions with the expert panelists and the participants jointly drilling down further to mine new ideas that have been struck during the day.

Dr. Gail Thomas is founding Director and a Fellow of the Dallas Institute and creator of its Center for the City. Currently, she serves as Executive Director of the Trinity Trust Foundation.
