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.
Marfa is famously remote. It is a long drive from El Paso or Midland and the better part of a day from Austin, Dallas or Houston, which is part of its appeal and also its biggest obstacle. Flying private turns a trip that once required a dedicated week into a realistic long weekend. Once there, you can spend a day with Judd’s concrete and aluminum works, drive up to Fort Davis for a star party at McDonald Observatory, look for the Marfa Lights after dark and continue south toward Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park and the Rio Grande.

Things to do in Marfa
When to go. Marfa’s high desert elevation keeps summers milder than much of Texas and brings cool, clear nights year-round. Spring and fall are ideal, with comfortable days for exploring the art and the Big Bend region. The Chinati Foundation’s annual fall weekend draws visitors from around the world, and the dark skies make any season good for stargazing. Winters are sunny but can be cold at night, and summer brings afternoon thunderstorms.
