Ranch Field Trips

This fall Judd Foundation will host 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 will include an arroyo walk, conversation with an expert, and lunch.

Fall 2024 dates:

Saturday, November 9
Saturday, December 7

Ranch Field Trips will be held on two Saturdays this fall, one in November and one in December. The visits will be held at Casa Perez, one of Judd’s three ranch houses maintained by the Foundation.

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. These events are free and open to the public.
