Ballroom Marfa
A non-profit contemporary art space in a former ballroom, hosting exhibitions, film screenings and music events; it commissioned the Prada Marfa installation.
Ballroom Marfa was founded in 2003 in a former dance hall built in 1927. It now rotates contemporary art exhibitions year-round and also hosts film screenings, concerts and lectures, making it the hub of Marfa's art scene. The Prada Marfa installation was commissioned jointly by Ballroom Marfa and an art foundation. Admission to the galleries is free, but opening hours change with the exhibitions, so check the website before you set out. The galleries along the main street nearby are also worth visiting at the same time.
