This year our Charity Partner is the Marfa Studio of Arts!
This year is their 25th Anniversary. A bit about MSA pulled from their website here:
The Marfa Studio of Arts was founded in 2000 by artist/arts educator Malinda Beeman. At that time, the growth of contemporary arts institutions, the pristine landscape and the unique nature of the place attracted many artists and new residents to Marfa.
These new residents found themselves in a community of multiple generational Hispanic families as well as a strong ranching tradition. As the culture of Marfa was changing, the Marfa Studio of Arts developed its mission to create a bridge of understanding to engage these diverse groups through the artistic experience.
Our years of programming include adult arts education, children’s weekend art classes, after school teen programs, an exhibition space for Texas artists as well as a small store selling area artists work. In 2005, the SITES (Studio in the Elementary School) program was developed and in several years became an important focus of the organizations mission. To this day, the Marfa Studio of Arts is the only arts institution in Marfa that offers a year round and "in school" arts program to the children of the community . We support the vision of the area artists by offering a professional exhibition space to show their work.
