The MARFA BIG READ, the reading program initiated by the National Endowment for the Arts, kicks off on January 10 at Ballroom Marfa with performances by Leah McWilliams and San Antonio folk singer, Azul.

Ballroom Marfa kicks off the 2008 music season with a special solo acoustic concert by Texas singer-songwriter Robert Earl Keen.

Ballroom Marfa welcomes worldly chanteuse Keren Ann and gauzy pop duo Dean & Britta (formerly of Luna) to the Goode Crowley theater on February 22 for the second installment of its 2008 music program.

Too raucous to be neatly included with the current psychedelic-folk scene—and too resolutely underground to be commercial—San Francisco's the Dodos are anchored by furiously propulsive energy and indie-folk songwriting talent.

To inaugurate the opening of the visual arts exhibition Hello Meth Lab in the Sun, Brooklyn psychedelic/space-rock band, Psychic Ills, will perform at Ballroom’s Marfa’s Liberty Hall on Saturday 5th April, at 9pm.

In December 2007 Ballroom Marfa launched film.text.performance.film, a two-part program pairing seemingly disparate areas of contemporary cinematic practice of filmic performance and visual text.

Noted for her "power and introspection" (The New York Times) and "heart, intellect and fabulous technical resources" (Fanfare), pianist Sarah Rothenberg has one of the most distinguished and creative careers of her generation.

Irena Havlová and Vojtěch Havel, the duo who are The Havels, have been collaborating for more than 15 years, making music that has been described as “a duet between violoncello and piano taking place in a cathedral of sound.”

Ballroom Marfa is thrilled to bring Brooklyn based noise-rock pop-punk duo, Japanther, back to Marfa for a special Halloween show, “The Dancing Mummies Curse."

This Saturday, 1 November, will mark the first installment of Ballroom Marfa’s month-long film and video series, Art in the Auditorium.
