Nasher Sculpture Center
2001 Flora Street, Dallas, Texas 75201
www.nashersculpturecenter.org

Situated in downtown Dallas at the base of the city’s skyline, the Nasher Sculpture Center represents Raymond Nasher’s vision to create an outdoor, “roof-less” museum that serves as a peaceful retreat for reflection of art and nature and public home for his collection of modern and contemporary sculpture.  The goal was to produce a structure of lasting significance that will sustain the legacy of the Raymond and Patsy Nasher Collection – a “noble ruin” reminiscent of the solidly grounded archaeological sites of ancient civilization and their continuity through time.

About Latino Leaders Magazine

LATINO LEADERS is a bimonthly publication with national distribution in the United States. Latino Leaders targets an educated and informed Latino readership, with articles featuring interviews with major Latino players in all fields of expertise. Editorial content focuses on social, political, and business leaders. In addition, the magazine covers the rise of influential Hispanics in the entertainment industry and sport. LATINO LEADERS is constantly growing and evolving, in the same way as the community it represents. In 2002 it launched several new sections, which include: "Shelf Life," book, music, and film reviews; "Gallery," photographs visually depicting Latinos in specific environments; and "Opinion," a forum for the discussion of pertinent issues; the "Proust Questionnaire," classic questions that quiz the nation's top Latinos. LATINO LEADERS features the most important aspects of the lives of US Hispanic leaders—the experiences and achievements that reveal who they are and how they got to be where they are today.

In all societies there are outstanding people—those who have vision, courage, talent, and persistence—who can make things come true. These are ordinary people with extraordinary determination. They are the leaders. The Hispanic community is growing fast, and many Latinos create and manage change. They are respectfully followed because they deserve the right to lead. All these outstanding people have experiences to share. Their lives, thoughts, and achievements are an example; understanding them can help others reach their own goals. LATINO LEADERS features the most important aspects of their lives—the moments, experiences, and achievements that reveal who they are and how they got to be where they are.
