Book Launch


The Chinati Foundation and Marfa ISD, in collaboration with Ballroom Marfa and Friends of the Marfa Public Library, hosted a public program and reception in honor of Marfa Junior/Senior High School’s release of a new collection of student poetry. The books were compiled and created over two months by students in the Gifted and Talented program during in-school workshops with Chinati Foundation Staff and interns. The event took place at Marfa Book Company, with student readings and refreshments. A limited number of the hand-bound volumes, each with unique covers and student introductions, were also available.
