Five teams of Art Institute of Dallas fashion students were selected to design five distinct Lone Star Christmas windows at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center.  The windows will be unveiled on November 16, along with the rest of the Gaylord’s holiday décor, including its annual ICE! exhibit.

Running through January 6, 2007, Gaylord Texan Resort’s second annual ICE! exhibit will display larger-than-life, three-dimensional ice sculptures and holiday scenes hand-carved from two million pounds of ice. Complementing the ICE! exhibit is the resort’s annual Lone Star Christmas event featuring more than 1.2 million sparkling lights, extravagant holiday decorations and displays, and holiday-themed retail shops – all designed to share the holiday spirit with visitors of all ages.

The following Art Institute students will be designing windows: “Amelias” – Audre Miller and Alec Duran, with Donna Sapp as the faculty sponsor; “Willow Creek” – Jodi Duplichan, Stephanie Womack, and Ana Moreno, with faculty Christi Wren; “Kids Korral” – Cara Dacus, Tramel Sherman, and Susanna Burke, with faculty Karen Garrett; “Signatures” – Kari Engelbrecht and Jessica Crutchfield, with faculty Jason Stanford; and “Lone Star Sundries” – Ashley Herron, Mario Ibarra, and Madison Adams, with faculty Janet Eskridge.
