Wednesday, October 2, 2024
1:00-2:30 p.m.
​
Cost: $49 per person. Space is limited.
Must prepay with NASDAD for our group tour.


Join our first group adventure to tour Taliesin West. This is the remarkable winter home and desert studio of Frank Lloyd Wright. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the unique beauty of the Sonoran Desert and the vision of Frank Lloyd Wright while exploring on the tour. This is a fascinating tour even if you aren't interested in architecture. Yet you'll come away with a new understanding of American architecture. Taliesin West is deeply connected to the land, and you won't find these stunning views anywhere else.  
​Please note, the space will be limited on this tour. This will be a wonderful kick-off for our convention time together.

We’ve added an additional activity for attendees not involved with the Continuing Education Programs. The Musical Instruments Museum is a unique experience, displaying instruments and objects from every country in the world. It is a popular destination for families visiting Phoenix. You will be able to see over 6,000 instruments, hear their sounds and observe them being played. There is a gallery with some iconic instruments played by celebrities like Elvis Presley, Taylor Swift, and many others. Another gallery allows guests to try some intriguing instruments such as guitars, rattles, and gongs.
Attendees will purchase their own tickets, so no pre-registration is required by NASDAD. Simply meet in the lobby on Thursday, and we’ll carpool to the museum together.
