Support Chinati Weekend 2026

In October 1987, Donald Judd began the tradition of Chinati Weekend (then called “Open House”) by inviting friends and collaborators to Marfa for a weekend of open viewing, special exhibitions, talks, music, and meals.

We invite you to join us for the 39th annual Chinati Weekend, October 9-11, 2026.

Saturday night’s benefit dinner provides crucial funding for our essential work: maintaining artists’ installations as they were conceived, presenting exhibitions to a broad public, hosting artists in residence, offering experiential educational activities, and organizing diverse and engaging programs that establish links to a broad range of communities.
