The First Twenty Years

Ballroom Marfa was founded in 2003 in Marfa, a remote town of fewer than 2,000 inhabitants, to offer the public art across all mediums – from installations to performances, music, film, and dance. Since then, Ballroom has evolved to become not only an internationally recognized, critically hailed art museum, but also a landmark global destination. Fairfax Dorn is the co-founder of Ballroom Marfa and the principal of the interior design collective FDP. Dorn received the Marian MacDowell Art Advocacy Award in 2023, the E. William Doty Distinguished Alumna Award from the University of Texas in 2022 and ArtTable’s 25th Future Women Leadership Award. She sits on various boards supporting the arts. Dorn holds a Bachelor of Arts and Fine Arts degree from the University of Texas in Austin. Virginia Lebermann is the co-founder of Ballroom Marfa. For the past two decades, she has had extensive involvement with non-profit organizations in Texas and nationally and received ArtTable’s 25th Future Women Leadership Award. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Middlebury College and attended the New York University Gallatin Masters of Arts program in creative writing. She is the co-author of Cooking in Marfa (Phaidon). Daisy Nam is the Executive Director and Curator at Ballroom Marfa. Prior to joining Ballroom, she was at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University, Columbia University School of the Arts, and the Guggenheim. She has had curatorial residencies and fellowships at the New Museum, Bellas Artes, Surf Point Foundation, and Gwangju Biennial Foundation. In 2021, she co-edited a book Best!
