Ranch Field Trips

Judd Foundation presents Ranch Field Trips at Casa Perez—a new format of our annual Ranch Day. These visits are intended to provide visitors with an in-depth experience of Donald Judd’s engagement with the land at his ranch, Ayala de Chinati, outside of Marfa, Texas. The morning visits include an arroyo walk, conversation with an expert, and lunch.

These events are free and open to the public.

Each Ranch Field Trip will be limited to 40 guests in order to facilitate greater individual experience and preserve the ranch land. Visitors will be required to register for an advance ticket through our ticketing system.

Fall 2025 dates will be announced in late summer.
