Head to Marfa for an art weekend that includes a special tour of Ballroom Marfa led by Executive Director Fairfax
Dorn and the inside scoop on what goes on in the town. Visit the Chinati Foundation, a contemporary art museum
founded by Donald Judd, and wrap-up the day exploring the Judd Foundation with an exclusive tour through the
artist’s 15 different living and working spaces, such as the studios installed with artwork, the ranch, the
architecture offices, and the libraries–an extraordinary way to consider Judd’s art practice.
During your visit, relax at the Thunderbird, your retreat for 2 nights. This boutique hotel is “where all the action
happens” according to the New York Times Magazine, and its original classic 1950s architecture has inspired a
truly modern minimalist renovation.
This experience is for up to 4 people, with 1 complimentary room for 2 at the Thunderbird for 2 nights.
