As part of its ongoing Chinati Presents series, the Chinati Foundation will host a World Monuments Fund Watch Day on Saturday, August 2, 2014 to raise awareness of the museum’s preservation efforts.

Starting with simple shapes, students will engage and improve their understanding of form as they create complex and simple stencils. Using both the negative and the cut out forms, students will make large-scale paintings, cyanotypes, and sculpture. Classes begin July 7 – 11 for students Pre-K (ages 4 and up) through grade 8.

The Chinati Foundation, Marfa ISD and the Tierra Grande Chapter of Texas Master Naturalists Program will team up this summer for an exciting and free series of programs for children.

The community is invited to an opening by Chinati Artist in Residence Andy Coolquitt. The opening begins at 8:00 PM on May 24 at the Locker Plant in downtown Marfa.

As part of CineMarfa’s 2014 festival, Chinati will co-present a talk with artist Zoe Leonard and a screening of James Benning’s RR. The museum will also co-host a book signing at Marfa Book Company to celebrate the publication of Leonard’s new book Available Light.
