October 18
Julie VandenBerg Snow, FAIA

Julie VandenBerg Snow, FAIA, here from Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the lead juror for the annual Fort Worth AIA Design Awards, presents her thoughts on architecture today and how those ideas relate to the designs and buildings produced by her "studio-based, project-driven" practice, Julie Snow Architects Inc. Design strategies that engage issues of how architecture performs within each project's social, cultural, and economic context have brought the firm recognition, including the AIA Honor Award (2011), Progressive Architecture Design Award (2011), the Chicago Athenaeum's American and International Architecture Awards for Best New Global Design (2010), Architect Magazine Annual Design Review (2010), and the Design Distinction Award from I.D. magazine (1999).

October 25-David Pagel, curator, art critic, and associate professor of art, Claremont University, Claremont, California

November 8- Michael Auping, chief curator, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth

November 15 - Katy Siegel, contributing editor for Artforum and assistant professor of art history, Hunter College, CUNY, New York*
