It might seem like all of the heat is happening on Friday night, but rest assured that your Marfa weekend lasts long past cleaning your plate at the community dinner …

• Early risers can join Rashid Johnson for an exhibition walk-through at Ballroom Marfa on Saturday, March 9, at 11:30am. The video above from a walk-through of his solo exhibition, Message To Our Folks, at the Miami Art Museum suggests the sort of in-depth background on offer.

• Sunday afternoon from 2-6p is your four hour window of opportunity to receive a $15 spirit guide reading from local clairvoyant Daeryl Holzer at FREDA:

Using her new Spirit Game system, Daeryl provides insights to your present challenges and explains which of your Spirit guides is currently best suited to assist you. You will also receive a specialized visualization to connect for ongoing support. A light-hearted yet profound opportunity to experience Daeryl’s healing work.
