Things to do in Marfa
Marfa is a small ranching town on the high plains of far West Texas that became an international art destination after Donald Judd arrived in the 1970s and went on to create the Chinati Foundation. Today it draws artists, collectors, filmmakers, architects and designers, and its galleries, restaurants and hotels carry a reputation far larger than the town itself. Business travel tends to revolve around the arts, hospitality, ranching, real estate and film and photo production in the dramatic surrounding landscape.
